    I found these going through my local thrift store this morning. I like the gypsy playing a violin with a big smile on his face! Can anyone make out the artist's name? (Hussein?) Also what is the logo/stamp on the back of the canvas?

    2nd painting is bright, colorful & in a palette style (thick gobs of paint), but I can't find a S. Peerson artist - lots of S. Pearson but no Peerson. Is it Pearson? Is so which artist?

    Finally! I found this big painted peacock - I think it's made of chalkware because the sound when you tap on it, but the creases (look at neck in 2nd pic) makes me think some kind of wood?
    PS - It measures 31" long x 23" tall, and when you look at it sitting in the grass it looks like a peacock looking back at whose behind him!
    I looked for another with no result - could it be handmade? Any thoughts on it?
    Thanks all!

    All three decorative. Peacock looks like ceramic.

    Here's another view of gypsy painting signature; maybe a little easier to read?

    the beach scene the sea is poorly done. It was by an amateur artist. The violin one is done by someone with a little more skill but still someone who probably painted in their free time. Peacock yard decor.

    Maybe a couple of museum visits are in order.

    According to the internet, A. Schutzmann is a framer in Herrsching, Germany which is near Munich, and Viktoria Maltuch is the canvas maker. I have no idea if that is true but your violin-playing gyspy appears to be a decorative painting as do these from the same "framer" listed on eBay Germany.

    Honing? Haring? (Not Keith :hilarious:)
    These Gypsy paintings are Continental European kitsch of the 1950s-60s. People who bought these, also bought the crying children paintings.
    I read S. Parson, and it is not by an artist, but by a sunday painter.;)
    That's what it looks like to me.

    I’m kinda floored that I like the peacock but I’ve got bad yard art.
