    A friend of mine who knows I love art showed me these 3 paintings he found in a storage unit won at auction & asked me if I wanted to buy them. I couldn't make out 2 signatures & 1 is 4-5 initials?

    Can anyone tell me who the artist is on any of these and any thoughts on them - would you buy 1 (I don't have to buy all) or more if you could?

    Thank you for any information, I truly appreciate your help!

    This is what is written on the support/center wood of frame; I'm hoping these may help somehow?
    I'm sorry for bad photos; I took these with my phone from the back of my friend's car & told him I'd let him know something by Monday.
    I think the last one (sheep) is the best, but I also think I saw one similar to the 2nd one of a hunter's catch with the rabbits & pheasants before that was valuable (I know this could be/probably is a copy)
    Again, any help or thoughts is truly appreciated - thank you!

    If I came across these, I'd would not pay attention to the last two.

    I'd look twice at the first one and then keep moving on.

    Personally I find the first one rather interesting and I like how the figures are depicted. If the price was good/cheap I would have considered it. I however still think it might be a student/amateur work (also keep in mind my art knowledge is rather quite limited:))

    Anyone who would charge you for those is not a friend…

    I don't seem to hate these as much as the others do. It really would depend on cost, as I see nothing too great here. I have not been able to attribute any of them. I would probably give any of them a shot at $20.00 or less. Beyond that, I would have to think long and hard about who I have to sell these to.

    I see someone dragging a body.:confused:
    (I can't tell if the body is dead or alive.:nailbiting::bag:)
