Help with artist name. G. C. or A? Thoughts?

https://www.okcupid.com/profile/PrinceEnrage?cf=regularThe last name is obvious but the first initial looks a bit different on each of the 3 pieces. I think it could be either G. C. or A. In the first painting, there looks like a full name actually painted before the printed name. I magnified that. I actually didn't even notice it until I looked at the photographs but I can't make it out.

The last two pieces by the same artist are both pastels and I have posted close-ups of those signatures. I did check Artnet and Askart for names using the first initials A. C. or G. but did not find anything that would fit with this time period.

I think these are well done. The prices on the back were there when I got these. I don't know if that's the artist's price or a gallery price. Wishful thinking? The painting is done on a Fredrix archival store bought canvas. What do you think? Thank you.

Thank you Bev!

 

She spells out her name on most of her signatures but here is one from her website with only the initial and it looks right.

IMHO Anne Wolff is a true artist. Very nice paintings --------- except for a few parts that it appears she skimped on. Especially in pics 1 and 2. Check the left rear and right front cannon bones in pic 1, and similar in the pastel.

If I had commissioned the first one I'd send it back for a little touch up. But if I have the right Anne Wolff she may not be around anymore. She'd be in her late 70s now. I'm wishing she is still going strong.

 

Check the left rear and right front cannon bones in pic 1, and similar in the pastel.

OG, you are so right! The pictures are all so lively and vibrant, but (especially) that poor horse in #1 has what looks like a "peg leg"!

 

Yes, she is still around. I see what you're saying about the cannon bone but, you are seeing it from a foreshortened view as it's bending back which makes things look a bit off but, that's how it looks in real life.

Once Bev ID'd the website, I was able to find more information. Her work sells quite high. Pastels around $2500 and and paintings I found from $6500 $16500 in some galleries.

 

maybe not so wishful thinking...eh Mill Cove ?? !!!!!!

 

Now ya gotta tell us what you spent on these......just for effect !!!
