Featured Artist signature help.

Bought this painting this morning at the Wareham, Ma. Historical Society antique show. It's large @ 38"x 26" oil on (made in USA) masonite.
Looks midwest, possibly Indiana, Ohio or Pennsylvania.
Signature help is much appreciated.

Think you got it......

 

Awesome! Thank you quirkygirl, that was fast!

 

Ya...that's up on the wall in no time flat.......Good Eye !!!

 

way to detective that one !!!!!!

 

Anund, that painting is absolutely, positively lovely! I would happily hang it in my home.

The setting may be miles & miles away, but it looks so much like places in both New England & NY State that I recall quite fondly !

Quirky, I stared & stared at that sig, but I came up with nothing! Way to go!

 

I really like it too, it was sitting iconically on the front steps of the Wareham H.S. hall on an easel, within 5 feet of vehicle and pedestrian traffic passing by. I saw it from the car and went straight to it after parking. I was figuring it would be a known artist with a high price tag. I had to do a double take when I saw it was only $45, I just paid the cashier and put in my car.

With the masonite being marked made in U.S.A. I assumed it was American. In his biography it says that he traveled quite a bit but doesn't mention the U.S.. Regardless I am very pleased with owning it.

 

that's fine art.......no student painting here !!!

 

Perfect example of the difference between a similar factory painting and this - look at the details on the trees in the background on this one. Lovely work.
