(Or rather 80’s?) The signature is nice and clear but I still couldn’t find the artist. It’s 25x30cm. Any thoughts on the this? Skill level of artist? I was thinking it was nicely done?
    Thank you

    A. Frenkel may have been a student or a talented amateur. Not fully accomplished but good enough to paint an attractive picture. I like it.

    I've got R Frenkel

    Or is it R F Renkel?

    An artist Roy Krenkel existed but I think that is twisting it too far.

    Much appreciated. Thank you for searching and finding this. It’s interesting but I however agree with you the style is too different.

    For what it's worth... I don't think it's too far fetched to be work of same individual. A young artist doing a bit of exploring perhaps. They could even be class assignments.

    Well that’s certainly interesting and good to know. I wouldn’t have considered that.Thank you for the insight Debora.

    The L is the same and the same unusual K with one curve for the two slanted lines. Also the bottom line in the R in Frenkel protrudes below the line in both
    Could well be one and the same

    You might want to go to familysearch.org (no cost to join) and see if you can find anyone by that name in South Carolina.
