    Hello. I picked up this what appears to be maybe a charcoal of a landscape at my local thrift. I bought it just for hanging on my wall because I liked the look. Not knowing that it was titled or signed until I hung it on my wall and in the right light I noticed a signature. Also it's dated 1987. Out of curiosity I tilted the frame on the bottom left side to see if there was anything written and I noticed a title which appears to read "light at the sound"? I'm not sure what the last word is after "the". Then there appears to be an embossed logo which might symbolize the kind of paper it is but not sure. I would of never known this was signed or dated because looking straight on at it the title and signature dissappear against the black background. It appears to be signed in pencil. If anyone has any info that would be great thank you!! Sorry for the glare. This was a tough one to photograph especially the title and signature soI tried my best.

    Looks like 'Light at the Source' to my eye. But I could be wrong.

    So much of thrift shop artwork isn't but that's a lovely find. And by a woman artist too! (Husband is Eric Fischl, I see.)

    I know! Very surprised by this but pretty cool. Thanks so much guys for the info. Does the embossed logo mean the kind of paper it is? Or something else?

    From the description of another of her works: "The sheet is embossed just right of the artist's signature with an abstract form." Yes, you can certainly ask if that's correct.
