2 New Paintings--Rudolph Cote

I just purchased these two paintings by Rudolph Cote. I thought they would look nice in my cabin and I thought they were interesting. I am wondering if anyone has any information about Rudolph. I found some of his paintings online but little information. I found several of his paintings sold on Kijiji in Toronto but no info. As always I appreciate any comments and/or information. Thank you!

 

There is also a Rudolph Cote from Prescott Valley, AZ. I wonder if this is the artist...since I bought this in AZ?

 

I'd say Az. , as the 2nd one is pure desert, and the barn doesn't look like ones found in Ontario..
