IS THISA CAROLINE BURNETT OIL

Iwent to an estate sale this evening, and this just called to me, well to be truthful this and a couple more, trying to find out some info, I came across a Caroline Burnettwith lots of conflicting information, so am posting this to get another input It is an oil painting, and quite large. thanks for any help

 

There are a bunch of similar images on goggle but the signatures don't all seem to match up. These are difficult to see because they are so small. There are quite a few done with a similar color pallet. The sky and building features in yours appear to be less striking than some of the others I found online.

 

Looks to be a pallet knife painting.

 

yes on reading about different techniques I think it, some areas look almost 3 dimensional.

 

I cannot attest to the authenticity of the siggy of any of those online images.

Perhaps another member will be familiar with her work?

 

thank you, as per Internet she signed her name 2 different ways which has led to the confliction about whether some paintings are original

 

Her signature did vary considerably - found these on Findartinfo...

 

Here is an online discussion of Caroline Burnett's and Louis Burnett's signatures. Apparently nobody really knows.

Interesting link thanks Fig.

 

Your painting is bright, interesting and very nice. But with her signature done so many different ways, how the heck do you authenticate??????

 

Isn't she still alive ?

 

Thank you all, it will remain a mystery for the present.

 

If she is still alive, I wouldn't hesitate to try to write to her and include a photograph to see if she painted it. Best of luck to you!

 

That's kinda where I was going with that question !!!

I mean....if she'll respond ....then mystery solved !!

 

GOOD idea.....worth a try anyway!!!!

 

She never signed in black paint only red or brown paint with all capital letters

@Nancy Neal ... I think this was your thread on your old account, wasn't it?

 

She has a fan Facebook page. Artist Caroline Burnett. She never signed her name in black and always on the right hand bottom

 

She painted in and around 1898..
