[QUOTE="dude, post: 5328638, member: 13170"]Hi Friends, I found this painting (I think it's a watercolor) last week in a thrift store and have some questions . . . 1) Would you consider it abstract? I'm not sure since nocturne paintings by their nature depict low light scenarios. It looks a bit abstract to me. My best guess is a moonlit forest scene, perhaps with a lake in it. 2) What on earth is the artist's first name? I can't make it out though it's typed on the back of the framing. 3) Is the artist published or yet another unknown amateur? I tried "Stykowa," "Stykowa Artist," etc. in different search engines, but kept getting breadboard images and a bunch of thread links in another language (Polish?). Thanks in advance for any replies.
