[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4204320, member: 84"]These are the final 2 paintings I found/bought at a local thrift store today. I had 2 more (including a cool one of a old man/Santa looking profile signed Audrey) but the manager told me $50 each and since I didn't know the other artists I only took these. One I found while there - the boats are by Josette Faquet; a well listed artist. And the 2nd's name is easy - Ernest - but I couldn't find him googling; but I bought the painting anyway because the big eyes seemed familiar? Does anyone know who this artist is? Also they both have some kind of inventory number on the back - starting with 2 letters & then a series of numbers - are these from a auction? Or better yet, a museum?! (Speaking of which - both have 1 set of numbers written by hand + a set that looked like they were stamped onto the back of the canvas; would a auction house go that far?) Since the Faquet is a well known artist, I am hoping Ernest is too!! Any information would be helpful - thank you all as always!
