[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 1090700, member: 84"]I found this beauty at a local thrift store today. I know it has cracks in the paint & is dirty but the colors are still great in my opinion. Can anyone tell me about what years it's from? It has a rough 'weave'? like canvas (maybe from a burlap bag?) that looks really old to me? I couldn't find a signature - BUT, there is a weird paint stroke at bottom center that I thought might be a signature? And you might not notice at first but there is a group of sailors? in the front of the center ship - they are black, plus the unusual canvas it's painted on - could this be a Haitian painting? (I mention the canvas because I'v seen a lot of Haitian paintings & since they don't have a art supply store around, they will paint on anything they can find - including burlap ) It measures 28" x 20 and the frame is another 3" all around. Finally I took photos outside in sun & it looks more yellow to me than in person? so I took last one inside with flash. Thanks for any help - did I hit a home rum??!! :) [ATTACH=full]210429[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210430[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210431[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210432[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210433[/ATTACH] BELOW IS POSSIBLE SIGNATURE? (Bottom center on painting) [ATTACH=full]210434[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210435[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210436[/ATTACH] BELOW IS PAINTING PHOTOGRAPHED INSIDE w/FLASH [ATTACH=full]210437[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210438[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
