    I found this yesterday at a thrift store & for some reason I liked it! Maybe the 'so ugly it's cute' syndrome? :)
    I found a couple of paintings for sale that were signed MB but nothing about him/her
    Thanks!

    Then this must be very ‘cute’ :) I know very little about art.To me it looks like something done by an amateur or art student. But obviously MB is a serious painter if you found several other paintings for sale.

    MB might be short for Much Better, as in this painting could be so much better. Just a thought.

    I looked on computer (instead of my phone) and the ones I saw may not be the same (I was looking quickly because my friend lets me in early while they are unloading the trucks, but when they stop unloading trucks I have to leave store until normal opening time!
    Here is photo of back; I don't know why it came out so blurry - I'll try to take another after the weekend because we are having a estate/garage sale.

    Can I instead vote for so ugly it's ugly? :bored:

    I agree with those who think it’s the work of a talentless painter. Sorry but they’re of very limited value and won’t be a listed artist. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t like them.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I agree with all of the assessments here, but also I like it. Crazy...

    High drama. But I agree that it does appear to be the work of a less-than-fully-formed artist. Perhaps a student.
