    i found this today on my travels

    it took getting an old lady up a step ladder to see it properly, but i think it was worth it.

    large oil on canvas,

    titled on back of canvas, darby and joan by (i think) g a groves

    cant find anything about artist, but dont know if i've got the name right

    any thoughts ?

    Learn something new everyday. Wasn't familiar with the phrase "Darby & Joan."

    Debora is giving us a hint. There is more to Darby & Joan than meets the eye.

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    The signature on the front DOES look more like G.A.Grove 19??

    like it better without the frame

    1948, or 1918 ?

    I think that's misidentified as being painted by Robert E. Groves.

    Yeah I agree Deb, I've looked into his work and doesn't seem to be by him

    The guy selling the print probably made out groves and then attributed it to the only groves he could find

    The groves link between the two is interesting, but it's not identical so....

    Gawd knows

    As you can probably tell by me using words like attributed, I've been watching far too many fake or fortune episodes

    Great show though if anyone hasn't seen it
