Landscape paintings on wood

I have had these four paintings for about thirty years. I first hung them on my bedroom wall at The Ginnel when I was about nineteen or twenty. I’ve taken them with me whenever I’ve moved house and have always had them on display but they have only just gone on the wall today having been boxed up for the last six years or so.

All I know about them is Mum brought them with her from India. Not sure if they came over with her in 1946 or after her visits with us lot? Anyone know anymore about them?

    Lovely Dave! I have been wanting to see these pictures up on our walls again. Our home is really coming together as a reflection of all our yesterdays and memories and those of our parents. These pictures could have been paited in Fiji where I grew up, but I appreciate them as something from India, somewhere I have always felt an affinity towards although I have never been. I always thought there was a real romance and a mystery to your mum's childhood and young adulthood. Thanks again Dave . . . and Nancy.

    Any memories of these paintings? Did Mum or Dad bring them over in 1946 or another time on one of Mum's visits?
