two old paintings?

No, it's not behind glass. Should it be?
I know zero about paintings ( which should be obvious to everyone by now).

 

prints are usually behind glass.....paintings...not so much.....

 

This one has texture that looks like paint to me.

 

So, you should be able to see (and gently feel) brush strokes on the surface?

I ask because that NYGS label continues to bother me.

 

Here I tried to capture the texture on these pics. They don't look strokey, they look dabby, like "dab dab dab" Lol, does that even make sense?

 

That looks like a textured print, not a painting.

 

Darn. Thanks for the info.

 

Info about Ruthven H. Byrum, in case you are interested. He was a well-known Indiana artist, it appears.

Thank you Figtree. I wish I had a painting instead of a print.
