    I bought this from a large (100-200) group of mid century paintings donated to a local veteran supporter thrift store. It is signed HAMILTON, but there are so many Hamilton's when I googled it that I can't tell which one may have painted my piece.
    Also - it seems to turn/be more blue in sunlight than when I took a photo of it inside my house w/flash & afternoon light coming in!
    1st photo is inside house & 2nd is outside (same order with close ups) - the flash painting looks almost dirty & the sunlight painting looks almost too blue!
    Is this common?
    As always I appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    The best light for photographs is natural light on an overcast day. Bright sunlight is to harsh and the flash can changes colors depending on they type of flash and intensity.

    There do seem to be a lot of Hamilton painters, don't know which either. It took me a minute but those are trains right? Maybe as a signed railroad painting it would have value even if which Hamilton isn't known.

    I am a fan of Monet's industrial/railroad paintings so recognized it immediately. Did have to look it up for proper name attribution.

    I just purchased an oil painting (Salvation Army) with this same artist signature.

    Astounding amount of original art kicking around Miami.I'm shamefully envious ! Must be some extraordinary mid-century stuff.Do you take your phone to these sales & stores for signature research ?

    I go to 2 local thrift stores Mon - Fri (and the first I go 1 hour - 90 minutes before they open because my friend is the manager & as long as they are unloading donation trucks - which is almost every morning - he lets me go in early & get first look/choice of the new art & other stuff!) - I always take my phone to try to get an idea of somethings value, who made it etc...
    But I like old & unusual which means I bring most here to find out if I have anything good!

    No way! Thrifts here are no returns or refunds; they're selling used donated things - condition could be anything.

    Only thing better than having a bud w/ 2 thrift stores (for a Picker),would be drinking from the Grail and gaining immortality,and mastering time travel.
    Yet as the Grail Knight says-'But choose wisely, for while the true Grail will bring you life, the false Grail will take it from you.'
    Which simply means,in a short hundred years with diligent study- you and I will be competent art pickers !
