Can Someone Read this Signature?

Hey everyone

I know absolutely nothing about art, but I did pick up this piece that caught my eye a few weeks ago. I was hoping someone could tell me something (anything?) about it and perhaps might recognize the signature? Many thanks in advance, folks!

 

Id swear it says " Buena" !

 

Or how about Cuenca? There is a city of that name with similar architecture in Equador.

 

Interesting - thanks guys! I'm going to look into those two..I thought the first letter was a 'G' but it's rather difficult to tell

 

Ya think??!!

 

I've often wondered why 'artists' are so clever that they sign their names in an obscure manner.
Some literally make a name for themselves...

 

Try googling artist Burnett. Looks this style, often same colour painted signature.

 

Pretty!! Especially in that frame!!

 

Geez... Buena? Cuenta? Cuenca? Luena?
I have just made a resolution to print my name clearly on anything I do.
On the nano-chance that I get even vaguely famous years from now, I want credit for the stuff I did in my obscurity!

 

It reminds me of paintings of Paris Street scenes with the hotel dome in the background. but this has two domes, so it isn't Paris. I was looking for double domes in other cities but haven't had any luck.

 

I *think* the closer of the 2 domes is topped by a crescent moon. So someplace Middle Eastern?

 

Still have no idea but here is a photo of Cuenca, Ecuador.

 

Could be that, s_i_s.

 

Of course could be totally something else (including the painter's name). No idea

 

It is quite a coincidence about the dual domes, though.

 

Looks like decorator art to me, even in a nice frame. I think it's just a scrawl signature typical of the genre.
