[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 412778, member: 84"]Have not heard from Skinner yet so I took it to Godner auction house close by in Dania. The guy there told me it was a painting but without getting it authenticated it would have to sell as "Attributed to" He also wanted to see what was behind the backing (it IS a board over the original painting not the back of the painting!) but he wouldn't take it off unless I consigned it to them; which I wasn't ready to do yet. So I took it home, but all the way there I kept wondering what was on the back of the painting? Would it say the city like the only other one I've seen from Florida (with palm trees in it) that said it was painted in St. Augustine? By the time I got home the curiosity was killing me - so I removed the back (2 backs actually!). And found what looks like a receipt for 6" x 12" panels + paint! I've attached photos including some I tried with filters (it's a new computer with windows 10 that I don't understand the editing yet, sorry) but I could use some help reading it all - especially the name? or word in the center of it. Thanks again for the help with this piece.
