Featured Help with artist's name with AWS (American watercolor society?)

I found this today at a thrift store & I liked it but thought it looked a little dreary.
I bought though because even though I couldn't make out the artist's name, I did see the AWS - which I believe is the American Watercolor Society?
Can anyone tell who the artist is?
Does anyone like the art?
Thank you

 

Me: No

Me: Yes

 

Nice. Pity artist's name can't be easily read.

If anyone is interested ...

When I first saw the signature and its bucolic subject, I skipped over this post immediately.

Later, I returned for a second look. My first guesses were Ayna, Aynn, Foinn, Foina, Foynn and Foyna. Then I skipped it again.

To form my own observations, I like to look at the images before reading the post. The next time I peeked at it, I read the posted text. The AWS was logical, and that's how an "A" should look. I found a list of AWS members starting with an "F", naming a different Flynn. Now the swopping "L" conjoined with the "Y" became clear.

Watercolor by Flynn AWS, was the word search.

 

I know this sounds old fashioned - I'm old - people used to take pride in their signature. I think it started in the mid eighties when things went south, so many siggies were reduced to being scribbles in all the professional sports leagues. Its worse with art. These are talented people with unrecognizable signatures (except for Roaring20s) . You'd think that artists, above all others, would have beautiful penmanship. Below link, one of the reasons I liked Harmon Killebrew, Minnesota Twins HOFER.

You're like a WWII Codebreaker Roaring-thanks for sharing your 'behind the scenes' magic.

 

My signature is unintelligible and if I try to form the letters correctly it's downright childish!

 

Artists went nuts for sloppy sigs in the 50's-painters,potters-their signatures were even looser than their brushstrokes.

 

That's the perfect example - code breaker! And the methodical way went about it - I wish my mind worked that way!

 

We've got an amazing group of 'code breakers' here.
