    Thanks

    To me looking at the signature it appears that whoever did it went over the original signature with another name? I see spots where it appears to be a "f" then got turned into an "s". Maybe it's my eyes playing tricks on me just what it kind of looks like. Tough one though.

    I do see the word "Johnson" towards the end of the first part of the signature.

    There is Femi Johnson but the signatures I’m finding online are different.

    I would ask him as well like debora said because the first letter in the signature appears to be an "f". Looking at your painting and the ones on Google images there is a lot of similarities and the same style.

    The word under signature is Osogbo, a Kenyan town.

    Isn’t Osogbo in Nigeria?
