Question about copyrights of your uploads of the watercolour paintings by Thomas Worrall

Thomas Worrall died less than 70 years ago. According to British law: If the work was published during the author's lifetime then copyright expires 70 years after the death of the author. (This not only applies to authors but also to artists.) See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/United_Kingdom.
Could you please mention whether you are the copyrights holder of these paintings OR have permission of the copyrights holder(s) to publish them on Wikimedia Commons (also for commercial purposes) OR whether one of the exceptions does apply? Usually, the heirs of the artist are the copyrights holders.
My experience is that Wikimedia Commons is very strict in maintaining copyright rules. So your files might be deleted if you cannot prove the copyrights are OK. JopkeB (talk) 07:49, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
