<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 30764, member: 44"]I agree with those that think what's under the tree is not a sig. Like Happy said it looks to me also as an "artist trying a new technique." I also see the faint writing at an angle in the bottom right corner. I don't think it is a sig either. To me it looks like something scribbled on the painting in pencil or the like. I worked with that writing in hopes of making it out. I didn't have much luck. To me it looks like "F & Y" followed by either a "G" or dot and then more scribble. I am sure of the "F &" with either "Y" or "X" after it. Beneath the scribbled line of "F & Y" it looks like a price. A dollar, cent or hash/number/pound sign followed by 3 numbers: $466, $496, $4.66, $4.96; ¢466, ¢496; or #466, #496.</p><p><br /></p><p>Am including a couple of my edited versions.</p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]7765[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
