    Here's another painting I'd love to find an artist for.

    I've searched the name Tom Shaffer but to no avail. Am I misreading that name?

    Thank you for any comments / help.

    24"x32" (61x81cm)

    (No idea why the addition boards screwed and glued (!) to the back)

    I'm a sucker for a landscape with lots of blue in it.... might be a product of living in a rainy, grey place.

    Thanks @laura9797. I get a Northern vibe from this painting too: flat, lots of water, and probably ferocious mosquitoes.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    The last name sort of looks like Shiller or Shiffer to me. I don't see an "a" in the last name. I found two artists, Tom Schiller and Tom Schiffer, neither of whom seems to be the right one. Plus, I don't see a letter "c" n the signature.

    I'm not even positive that the first name is Tom, but it does look like it.

    Also, looks like a date of 04/00 on it. Sort of obvious, but thought I'd mention it anyway.

    I'd think that was a student piece.
