Who is the Artist

Cookham High Street.
************************

I have been in possession of this water colour original for just over 20 years, and I would like to know who the artist was, as there is not a signature to be found. I would like to get in touch as I wish to give credit for his or her work in my forthcoming hopeful production of a historical documentary on a DVD.
Please let me know if you know the artist and their possible e-mail address, so that I may contact them, so that credit may be given where credit is due.
Regards,
James Hatch
Additional Note:
From information passed on to me, I am now looking for a Pete Classy who use to live in the village. If you know of his whereabouts please tell I am trying to get in touch with him.

      Hi Daryl,
      If you bump into Pete, would you be kind enough to give him my regards. My friend Richard and I have fond childhood memories of him and his work (Warfield, 1970's). Thank you, Simon Cooke

    My name is Warren Cahn from Greco Publications who knew Peter very well. Through my gallery in Maidenhead, I commissioned Peter to create an exclusive collection called "The Thames Collection" over 20 years ago! All signed originals are in my posession. Please feel free to contact myself/my daughther for further info at mel@laurenceleigh.com. All the Best

    Hello Warren. I wonder if you could please help me. I have a framed picture of Bray Church, and signed by Peter. The painting also has your name attached. I would really like some more information about the picture. If you could contact me I'd be most grateful. Many thanks Amy 07770765527
