The owner had stopped to buy a raincoat on a wet day and fell in love with the scene
A woman who stopped in to a charity shop to buy a raincoat on a wet day, and ended up buying a painting for £25, has been left stunned by its true value after appearing on the Antiques Roadshow. This weekend's episode of the BBC show was filmed at Powis Castle in Wales.
The oil painting left the woman who bought it at a charity shop for £25 shocked by its true value. Showing the piece, expert Grant Ford said: "This is such an immediate, fluid, colourful painting, I'd love to be able to paint just like this. Asking the guest how she came to own it, she replied: "So I bought this painting 10 years ago, it's a Scottish scene, a peninsula on the west coast of Scotland and we'd all had a family holiday there.
"What a lovely story, gosh I wish I got there before you," Grant responded. John Cunningham was born in Lancashire but moved to Glasgow where he was a senior lecturer at the Glasgow School of Art.
