[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 116755, member: 267"]The Will Howe Foote - This is from his time in the Bermuda, around 1922. (my image is a little on the dark side) [ATTACH=full]29390[/ATTACH] Not really knowing anything about Connecticut, and since we didn't see more images of the signature to verify that name or location I can't say it was painted in Westport, or had anything to do with Lyme. I know you were hoping for a name, and the rest would follow, but you may have better luck working from the opposite end - What IS that word? location? the art culture in that area? and maybe then artist? If I didn't have this painting, I'd never even have thought of Lyme - for sure plein air painting has been a big part of that community since at least 1900 and continues today. It's possible you'll stumble on something more about it, you never know! In the meantime, enjoy it![/QUOTE]
