Hi 1bear

If you take a look at the two very distinct signatures in the links below and then compare the two sets of initials (A.W) to yours,  there are differences in the style. I am not realy convinced, but then again my eyes aren't what they used to be and the signature on your water colour is very faint, and may not be the same AW Finch.

I hope you don't mind me saying, but £50 from a Charity shop is an awful big price tag, it would suggest that they had an idea that it was painted by a recognised artist, which means they maybe use a local expert who donates his/her time to value high end donations. If it has just recently been bought then I'd be tempted to go back to the shop and ask them who they think the artist was, or who they use to value their paintings etc.

There is indeed, but what? It's so frustratingly faint
