Featured Moody little watercolour location

Hi guys

This was dirt cheap, and very foxy !!

I got most of the foxing off with bread, which worked well

I think it's one of those painting with an unknown artist, but anyone get a feel for location

Thanks

 

Just the kind of insights I was looking for, cheers dave

 

Is that a signature on the third picture down ?? ... Joy.

 

Hi joy, yeah in the bottom corner, looks to me like m frolik/fralik

 

Looks like M Frolik ... Joy.

 

Sorry, didn't see your reply ...

 

Great minds and all that joy !!

 

M Fralik, with TC underneath Fralik...........is what I see.....

EDIT: NOPE.....now I think the "TC" is just a squiggle under the last name.
No "TC".....my louse eyes......

 

Could be Indonesia, with those roofs, buildings on poles, and red earth.

My model Batak house from Sumatra, Indonesia is also raised, like many houses in Indonesia. It helps against snakes and other beasties you don't want joining your household.


Your houses are not Batak, but there are many types and shapes in Indonesia.

 

thanks aj, thats a great shout

 

Maybe Dayak Banjar houses from Kalimantan (Borneo):

I see "sralik"... an insight I don't think you will find useful, but it's all I have.

 

I think M. Frolik. Frolík is originally a Czech name.

 

I can go either way on the f/s question, but I really do think that's an "a"

 

Either way one can use either spelling to search for info. on the artist ... nice little painting by the way ... Joy.

 

first place when found in the US I'd research was Vietnam. perhaps Laos.

 

Lovely! Is that some residual foxing up there in the sky, or pointilist brush strokes?

I think you're attracted to these little watercolors - and they to you, @charlie cheswick

 

Thanks mate, it's foxing, but I'll think I'll go with pointilist brush strokes
