2 finds from Estate need help on one

Hiya all,

Well done Hawaiian girl, signed but can't make out the signature.

Any help appreciated

 

I read "G. Degagne" for the signature on the first painting.

There's information on the internet regarding the artist Lau Chun. Both of your works appear to be Hawaiian souvenirs.

Gwen Degagne

 

Thank you.
Yes I am aware of Lau Chun, a pretty sought after artist. The other I bought because it was good and will sell on its own merit. Good to know the name though even if not a listed artist.

 

Hey thanks a bunch

 

I think portrait of Hawaiian girl very attractive work too.

Both paintings are a step above souvenirs. How big are they?
The pallet knife painting is excellently done.
Both are framed in 1970s frames, a sign of those times.

 

Yeah they are not souvenirs.
Lau Chun is 15" x 20" 1974
Hawaiian girl 21.5" x 29.5" 1973 or so
Not counting the frames
