Recently found art through my son & Daughter learning about it in school which has made me look closer
at pictures than i had ever used to, Now i sometimes buy them when they are reasonable which seems cheap
for the work involved i found this one today in a second hand shop and i am enjoying it a lot i would love to find out more about it and if it is a nice piece i think reminds me of St Ives possibly and has a difficult to read signature
at the base any ideas of artist or medium would help me a great deal i am very new to art please go steady :) thanks Daniel

Best known for his etchings, it seems. He lived from 1876 to 1932, and his work is collected. So, worth a bit; how much depends on many things, but in any event you have a pleasant watercolour by a known artist of no small ability. Good choice, enjoy it.

I originally thought that this was a hand-coloured etching. It looks to have the tell-tale signs of the indented plate on the paper, although difficult to be sure from a photo.
The signature is on the border and written in pencil, exactly what I would expect to see.
That doesn’t necessarily detract from any potential value, some hand-coloured etchings are very desirable, obviously depending on the artist!
