Here is a beautiful watercolor by Dwight Kirsch I found at a yard sale.

Thank you I actually save it. This lady put it out at her yard sale the glass was sideways and it had just started to rain I got it before the rain did without damaging the piece.

 

Very nice... and a good rescue! How big is it?

 

It is 14 w x 22 l this is the watercolor dimensions.

 

It's an ambitious painting. I like it.

What does the blind stamp say? What is the lettering in the impressed oval?

 

I cannot quite make it out.

 

It's a great half-sheet watercolor.

Frederick Dwight Kirsch (1899-1981). Decent amount of info on him out there.

I flipped the image, grayscale'd it, and inverted...the stamp is probably reversed on the paper. I think it's an Arches (D'ARCHES) watercolor paper embossed stamp. I've not seen this type before...See what you think:

 

With you pointing that out it looks like that. So I take it that would be a good thing.

 

Arches paper (pronounced Arsh) has been around since the 1600s (their web site says since 1492). Their watercolor paper is very durable and is of high quality.

The painting is well done, for sure. Watercolor is a difficult medium to work with. Screw up one thing and you may as well flip the paper over and start over.

 

Thank you Sabre it is nice to learn new things. I really appreciate your feedback.
