Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a painting depicting an australian landscape, second half 20th century, signed lower left , painted on Frederix canvas board. Frederix is an american supplier of artist material, but these canvases are also available in Australia. The signature on the painting in your possession slightly differs to the one of Ray George ELLIS (1921-2013). I assume the painting you presented for appraisal was painted by an unknown talented amateur artist with the name "Ray Ellis". The artist is not listed. The estimate is based on similar paintings by lesser known artists offered or sold at auction.
