Was Rodney Boyce an artist who painted Australian landscapes in the 1930's?

Question

I have a landscape oil painting in the style of Constable signed by Rodney Boyce dated 1934 with painted area 465mm high and 325mm wide. The scene is of a rural road winding down a hill towards a river valley.

It was given to my grandfather John McMaster who painted watercolours of darling downs landscapes around the same time and possible exchanged. Value, provenance and subject matter are of interest as I am trying to establish its worthiness for restoration.

Answer 1

The artist was his father, Austin Alexander Rodney Boyce (known as Rodney).

In 1935 he presided over a meeting for the creation of a regional Art Gallery in Toowoomba: https://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35857014
He has at least one work on display at the Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery, called "Municipal Quarry, Toowoomba" by A A R Boyce: https://www.questia.com/newspaper/1G1-404843814/exhibitions-show-flexibility-of-art

Answer 2

Dear Larry,

All I could find on Rodney Boyce's paintings was 

Roger Boyce's History of Painting – EyeContact

From what I understand, there was an exhibition in New Zealand in 2010.  You might be able to contact the gallery for further information and advice.

Hope all works out well for you.
