Can anyone help me identifying this paining and artist please?

Wow, that's a hard one... Can't tell what it says but the painting is so cute. It reminds me of a hobit.

Yes it definitely a hard one! What I can say is that I did a lot of paintings... my names not much more ledgable :)... I am sure if anyone could read my writing and searched me down it would be difficult. Have you considered attending an art galleria and providing them with the portrait?
