<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 4464766, member: 5398&quot;]Thank you, Debora, I really appreciate your description of them as early 20th century landscapes and your mention of identifying locations. It prompted me to&nbsp; think about where in Wisconsin (which is where I live and purchased the paintings) would someone have a home like the first one, and I thought of our lumber barons. So I did some googling on the topic and started thinking maybe someone painted the home where a lumber baron was born and where he lived after earning millions--or maybe the two homes have no relation but someone just wanted to paint contrasting homes in northern Wisconsin. [Edit: Or, who knows, they could be located in Europe, or just painted from someone&#039;s imagination.]</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, I decided I&#039;m going to send photos of the paintings to the Wisconsin Historical Society (with variations of the signature), and ask if anyone knows if any of our lumber barons or someone else may have owned the lakeside mansion, and if anyone recognizes the name of the artist. So a BIG THANK YOU to both Debora and Brad for all your help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
