[QUOTE="FWIW, post: 4626929, member: 4571"]Found a painted gourd at thrift signed T GRIFFIN. Did a little research and there was a prolific artist out of the north east US by Thomas B Griffin. Looks like he mostly did impressionism oil on canvas nature stuff. Lived 1850s-1920ish. Im just a little curious if this piece in a long shot might be from him. Mostly based on the signatures I find really match his signature on this gourd really well except for he usually signed "T B Griffin" and the gourd is just "T Griffin", but he wasnt consistent. Sometimes he used "Thomas B Griffin" sometimes TB Giffin with the B written on the T. Not found a single piece just T Griffin. But how he wrote those letters really resemble his. Especially his Gs with the drooping down on the G. Also another reason why its a long shot is not only can I not find him painting any gourds, the gourd I have isnt impressionist. Also I cant say for sure that this gourd is 100+ years old either, but nothing so far tells me it isnt. Gourds were part of Americana art for the period w/ native Americans, but the animal is a giraffe which obviously isnt American scenery like TB Griffin normally did. So its a long shot, but hoping anyone might know a little more about TB Griffin and if in a long shot this might be his. Thanks in advanced. Pics following.[/QUOTE]
