The correct spelling of this artist's name is Elsley so if your picture is signed as you have spelt it, it is a fake!
Having googled Elsley he seems to be known as a "chocolate box" artist. Very saccherine sweet paintings of children and animals. He died in 1952 & from what I can see his paintings fetch prices of �155,000 to �500,000
