Anyone familiar with signed K. Smith Oil Painting ?

Any infor on the artist K. Smith? Thanks. Found a Kay smith but she mostly does watercolor not sure if that’s the same artists

 

Although the signature is different with the 'K' being 'Kay' - there is still a lot of similarities in the 'Sm'. She is a living artist so you could message her. This might be an earlier work. https://kaysmithartist.com/

 

It looks like a different style too.

 

Those look 1970s/1980s cusp decorative.

Could easily be from 1950s-1960s too. My grandmother was painting this type of art in the fifties.

 

It's certainly in the style of the 1950s/1960s but I do think a tad later. Frames appear to be 1970s/1980s and I'd expect pickled if earlier.

Maybe they were cleaned and reframed?

 

Moot. Already up for sale on eBay and seller has dated.

I got that picture from the eBay listing. I am not sure if the seller have correct identification, wanted to be sure.

 

Ah, well, I still continue to disagree with date. I think the "raised" painting surface (e.g. impasto) supports the 1970s/1980s cusp date. I also think the seller has misidentified the frame as being "Hand Carved."

Do you mean there is more than one?

Always good to ask here.

Ditto. And they say "listed artist". Listed where, and who is it? If the artist is listed, why doesn't the seller give info on the artist?

 

the frames look more 90's to me.......I used some of those softer shades...

 

It looks like a 1970’s era factory painting

 

I did think factory painting, but no idea of the era.

 

See I have almost the same painting from eBay but not signed.
