Floral still life painting-comments

Hi all,any comments or information on this little painting please. The frame looks 70’s or so to me? What about the skill level of the artist? There’s a fairly large signature/name in the righthand corner and seemingly more writing on the left side (about 7cm up from the corner) Does this have elements of impressionism? I rather like
it. Frame size is 28x40cm. Thanks for any replies

 

The work of an amateur with some art training, I'd think. The colorway is certainly 1970s.

Thanks Debora

 

Definitely 70s and agreed it looks like a lot of the hobby-type painting that was done then.

 

Thank you for the reply and confirmation

 

It's weird how the composition's kinda leaning right. Balance is something that's harder to execute.

 

Agree,I also noted that.. not sure if the artist was going for some different ‘perspective’ or just got it wrong. Personally the signatures is also what interested me,very large and bold for an amateur. Anyway it was really inexpensive and I still like it so it’s all good.

 

LOL, my first impression before reading the comments was "1970s high school art class."

 

Impasto lesson.

Funny you should say that because I have a somewhat similar painting from my 1967 high school art class! I'd forgotten about it until my cousin passed away and discovered it among her things. I guess my mother gave it to her.
