    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg I came across this today. I thought it was little cool. It's signed Martin and on the reverse, it's written either V. Hilton or U. Hilton, atleast that's what I can make out. Just about an hr from here is Hilton Head. Also, there's writing in pencil on the canvas but can't read it without taking the frame off. I might try to contact some local artist there and see if they know this artist. It looks like watercolor but this is painted on canvas. I wonder if it's a thinner acrylic or oil paint. I can post some closer images.

    If the subject were local, contacting a "local artist" might be successful. But this scene is in a French-speaking location - likely France itself. Still worth a try, but I would think more likely to have been brought back by a tourist.

    Yes, how did I over look that? It possibly could be that. Thanks!

    I would say it is a town scene in Belgium, Southern Netherlands or Northern France.
    Martin is quite a popular surname in Belgium.

    Did you discover who it is? I have a painting by the same artist and trying to get more info as well.

    Welcome to Antiquers Vtv!

    It would be best to start your own thread with pictures of the painting you own.

    I really like the painting by the OP. I am very partial to paintings of buildings/homes.

    We would all love to see the one you have too.
