    I inherited this print from my parents who bought it around 1975 in San Antonio, TX. We've always called it "Bluebonnets" but there's no title written on it. I believe that it is supposed to be a minimalist take on a traditional Texas bluebonnet landscape.

    Can anyone help ID the artist? I can't decipher the signature.

    If you haven't done so already, you might want to start with a Google Image search to see if you can find a duplicate print.

    I thought for sure this would work but nothing similar turns up.

    Very slim chance that something would but it's always the place to start.

    It appears you've unframed your print. What type of paper is it printed on? Anything on the back?

    I took it out of its frame to check for any writing on the back, but the only thing there was a date of 1975 and a series number, both in pencil. I'm not sure about the paper-- it was substantial, like a cotton rag maybe but I'm far from an expert. After I took the photo I put it back in the frame.

    What was the series number?

    Unfortunately I neglected to take a photo before I put it back in its frame and now I can't remember.

    Ah. Well, fyi, series numbers sometimes provide a clue as to whether the artist is a student (smaller series) or a professional (larger series.) A generalization, of course, but when not a lot of information to go on can be helpful.
