HELP WITH ARTIST NAME - PAINTING OF CHUBBY ROUND FACE CHILDREN

I've had this painting for awhile - I first thought it was a painting by an artist famous for painting round face chubby children (Bolenger?) who is copied a lot?
I can't make out this artist's name to google them & see if it's the same person - can anyone read the signature?
Also it has lines? or ridges in it (see photo of hair) - is there a name for this type of painting, or is it the canvas?
I appreciate any help - and Happy New Year!

 

Roybal...factory copies of Graziela Rodo Boulanger

 

Copy or not, I STILL love it!!!!!! Bright, Cheerful and Playful!!!!

 

Happy New Year Mark !!!!

 

To you as well!

 

Thanks - I found Joyce Roybal who paints these like Boulanger (Thanks, that's the name I couldn't remember!) - I don't think she is 'factory art'?

 

Ooops!! Umm... I found this: http://alexverapopart.com/who-is-the-artist-j-roybal/

 

Interesting -- and good that you found this.

 

& now you can apologize to Mr. London....who was spot on !
( whether you believe it or not...! )

 

Even if there was a real individual named Roybal (which there doesn’t seem to be), he/she has made an entire career of ripping off a more talented artist. Better to own a reproduction of an original Boulanger than a mass produced imitation. Just my $.02

 

& that's 2 cents Canadian !!!

Bawhahahaha!!!!!!

 

This is 1970’s vintage Boulanger etching from my collection.

 

Nice!
