    Hi, I live in Sydney, Australia and have been reading the Q&As on this site for some time and learning a lot. This is my first post. I am a bit of a magpie and pick up what I like. Nothing in particular. My query concerns a rural scene [girl with geese] painted on a large porcelain [?] tile or plaque with an ornate frame. There is a pretty much illegible signature, possibly beginning with the letter Z. There is nothing at all on the back.
    I am interested in its country of origin and the floral motif at the corners of the frame.
    Can anybody help please? I tried to upload a photo of the signature [bottom left] and the corner motif but got a message saying it was too big although it is just a .jpeg.

    Regarding my first post [above this I hope] I realised that I forgot to include the size. I have also tried to include a second photo of the signature and the corner motif but apparently it is too large. What am I doing wrong? Anyhow,
    Size of plaque / tile - L: 40 cm, W: 31 cm
    Size of whole item including frame: L: 67 cm, W: 57 cm.

    Any info much appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum, ALittleBit. I used to live in Sydney, in St Ives.:)
    Your lovely girl is from Bali.

    Your photos need to be below 1mb, preferably 640 x 480k. That could be your problem.

    Hello, ALittleBit. They're pretty small for geese. Ducks, I think.

    Resize your photographs to small even though they are jpeg. Then use the full image on the site. Welcome

    Thank you all very much for your warm welcomes and input on the painting and how to put up photos. The next attempt will be better. I didn't think of Bali and yes, Bronwen, I thought the birds were pretty skinny for geese so ducks it is. I'll hang around then and hopefully in time I might be able to help someone out as well.
    These forums are definitely how one finds out how little one knows:)
