An artist by the name of A. Bell..

[Gephydrophobia]

I've been requested by a friend to find out some information about an artist by the name of A. Bell. Unfortunately that is all the present information I have to give. The reason I am asking this is because he has found a painting in the garage and the name A. Bell is that which is emlazoned upon it. Multiple abuse of Search Engines has brought me no luck in procuring relevant information, so I'd thought I'd ask you wonderful peeps to do the the dirty work for me. You're unconditional investigations will be greatl appreciated.

is my memory fooling me, or is this the artist who did all of those living room paintings that were sold door to door? you know the ones about 30 inches by 48 inches? is it some pastoral yet nondescript painting and very pretty? i bet that's who it is.
