Who is 'J'

Mystery Oil painting by 'J'

Toot and I were 'trolling' around the British Heart Foundation  Charity Shop in Lowestoft and came across a lone canvas leaning against a wall.

Uncustomarily, we both liked the painting and decided there and then to buy it.  There was no price on it, so the Manager was sent for to give us a 'spot price'.

Time passed, tension mounted and then got off again.

" How about £4.99 ?" said the Manager.

"Done" said Toot and off we went carrying our new aquisition back to the car.

 A £3.99 frame from the QD value store completed our fine art acquisition and now said oil painting adorns our living room wall.  An original artwork for less than £10!

Now both Toot and I really like the picture but alas its author remains anonymous.  It is simply signed 'J' in the bottom right hand corner.  We think it is a painting of farm buildings near a school and somewhere in Suffolk or Norfolk but otherwise its location is unknown.  We also believe it is early morning light so the painter was looking South across a field with a stream or pond to his or her left.

Can you tell us who is or was 'J' or where this scene is located.  If someone can provide these details and leave them as comments on my blog, we will donate £25 to the British Heart Foundation.   I do like a bit of mystery and provenance with my art!
