Help with painting please

Another day off so time to flood you with questions. I bit of an odd painting but I love it. It has a small tear and wondering if it has value enough to have it restored
Signature (I think) is L.E.H
No idea who this may be. As always thank you.

 

Here is an artist that signs LEH but I can't see your signature to compare.

Can you get a closer pic of the signature? Don't know that this helps.

 

Looks like a Western US or Canadian painting, 1890-1900 or so, slightly on the naive side but still pretty nice. Doubtful you will be able to identify painter imho, so if you want to get it fixed it would be purely for your own benefit.
Personally, I would just leave it alone (small rip) or cut a small piece of canvas to back the slit and fill in the front with some colour. That's probably what the restorer would do too or maybe just fill the slit with goop and paint the bit to match.
I wouldn't clean the painting; that would ruin it.

 

Thank you I will try

 

Thank you. I think I may leave it just as it is.

 

Don't know, but I like it. I agree that it has a naive quality to it, but it's well observed for naive art - very well practiced. I wonder if it's a copy from a print?

 

When I get home on the weekend I'll try to get better closer pictures. Details are really very good.
