<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mr2real, post: 42156, member: 277&quot;]The paint splatters around the back are light blue which is consistent with the color of the child&#039;s sleeve, but it could have inadvertently ended up there if someone was painting the frame too. I&#039;ve tried to show the canvas texture in the second photo (I&#039;m posting closer view now). The cardboard prints I&#039;m seeing online have a different texture than canvas. As for it being an original, I can&#039;t find any information about the original (no date that it was painted, where it might be located, etc). </p><p><br /></p><p>The artist lived from 1897-1980. Her bio states that started painting as an illustrator in the 1930&#039;s, but it doesn&#039;t specify how long she was actively working. As for Duro Art Industries (the maker of the canvas board), I found a website that says they have been in business for 38 years. There is another website that says in the mid 1960&#039;s the business was named Duro Decal Company. If both these facts are true, this piece would have been painted between 1977 and 1980 (which doesn&#039;t seem very likely). </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a closer photo of the canvas board texture. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]10564[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
