    I would like to identify an oil painting
    I have this oil painting and I would like to try to identify it. In the bottom right hand corner appears to be a signature that simply says "August".

    Hi, kevsinc11!

    Would you be able to post an image of the painting and a close-up of the signature on this thread, please?

    Thanks!

    Hmmm...

    It's really hard, at least on my monitor, to make out anything in the signature. Would you be able to repost with a clearer one, please? Also, there seems to be a tint of yellow to the two images. Is that the way they really look when they are seen by a person where the painting is currently hanging on a wall?

    Thanks!

    I've taken three more - actually I took dozens - these are the best ones. I don't have a great camera & it's difficult to see the Signature in the first place.

    The yellow tint is how it looks. My dad got it in the early 70's and it was subjected to 3 packs of smokes a day for almost 40 years.

    I am looking at ways to clean it up.

    Here we are. Sorry - only two uploaded though - I think due to size.

    I have an image editor that does a pretty good job. Have already tried to clean it up a bit. Let's see what it can do.

    I'll post an image here when I'm done.

    Someone else might also be able to do better...

    Here's a close-up of the signature that's hopefully a bit more legible.
