It is oil on board and measures 9 1/2" by 13". I just realized that odd little shape of red in the tree above the boat was candle wax and scraped most of it off, but it left a red mark.

[QUOTE="Bookahtoo, post: 574248, member: 31"]I picked this painting up the other day. It's really dirty, but it looked old, and maybe decent underneath. It is oil on board and measures 9 1/2" by 13". I just realized that odd little shape of red in the tree above the boat was candle wax and scraped most of it off, but it left a red mark. As you can see, there are two good size scrapes on it. I don't see a signature - I plan on taking it out of the frame this afternoon. On the bottom of the frame, on the back, someone has written "Scene in Colorado" with a pencil. Something is also written across the top of the frame but I can't make it out, even with my light up magnifying glass. Sorry about the crummy pictures - I just seem to get worse at it. Any and all ideas and information are welcome. Thanks!
