Oil on canvas signed Chears?

Hi all Hope your weekend is going well so far. I picked this up this morning. Oil on canvas 24" W x 12" H. I didn't think it was sofa art because the artist made a list on the back of the canvas of what looks like the colors used in the painting. not sure. But so far i'm finding nothing with this name.

I noticed that too. Maybe he stole it and put his name over the other lol.

 

That certainly looks like a factory painting, Mickey.

Mickey is a mouse created by Walt Disney.
I think the quality is better than a factory painting. just my opinion.

Factory painting with someone else's signature over the original.

 

My apologies for the inadvertent typo. I stand corrected.

haha, Not a problem Debora

 

That's definitely a possibility.

this painting is no good

 

Omg I bought a crappy factory painting. Hope I can get my 6 back.

 

Ya know to be fair... factory paintings are designed to please. And they do please a lot of people. They're not awful, awful. They're just not art. They're a product like... like... say, toothpaste. One giveaway on yours is the haste in which it was painted. Look at the fir trees and see how quickly they were created with a series of horizontal strokes (by someone, it appears, who never say a fir in real life.) And nothing about the work makes one feel that it was a scene observed. It's lifeless.

Do you think someone watched Bob Ross, wrote down the colors he used and then painted this? I just don't get why someone would write over the signature - and it definitely looks like "Chears".

 

When I do a colored pencil I always write the colors on the back like this.
