I have a painting that seems to be an oil painting, very nice looking in GREAT condition. I do not have a picture of the painting, and am unable to get one, but I have a picture of the signature and title of the piece. If anyone could help me get more information on the artist I would be overjoyed!

This is the link for the signature, title, and date on the piece

**JeremyESB** , with about 300 views and not even a guess, it looks like you won “Stump the Band” because we don’t have the slightest idea.

Where did you get it? When? Any suspicions of your own?

Oooh! Far more likely than the MDs I found so far who are far too young. And it’s far more likely that the painting is worth something!
