<p>[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 2584149, member: 84"]I just got home with this - I drove up to Ft Lauderdale a few hours ago to buy 2 old cast iron black Americana banks by John Harper for $100 that I found on FB (the lady bank alone has sold for $250 - $300 on eBay).</p><p>On the way back to I95 I saw a pawn shop & decided to stop. Besides a nice 1884o Morgan silver dollar I got for $25, I also bought this painting. I am sure I had one by the same artist but it was of 2 pairs of feet wrapped together; like they were laying in bed cuddling (the style is the same; except it's big fingers up front instead of toes this time!). But I don't remember that artist's name & this one is either unsigned or it is smudged (not sure if that was a signature on arm in 3rd photo?).</p><p>Does anyone recognize the style or know the artist who painted this?</p><p>Thanks in advance for any help!</p><p>PS - my new old banks on bottom!
