    Hi, i picked this colored drawing up today. It says its a limited edition but when i look closer at the actual drawing it appears to be an original which i thought was odd. I was wondering if anyone could help me out on the sig or know who the artist is? I took a couple of close up pictures so you could see but to me it appears to be an original. drawing2.jpg drawing3.jpg drawing4.jpg drawing5.jpg drawing6.jpg drawing1.jpg

    1970s. The seller of this piece thought name was S. Leiland.

    According to the internet, the Robert Sills Gallery was incorporated in 1973 and ran auctions of "original" artwork as fundraisers for charities. Here's a 1977 newspaper clip of one for a church in San Marino, CA. Lots of their product to be found on internet and, given their business model, think it best described as "decorative."
