    There are a bunch of similar images on goggle but the signatures don't all seem to match up. These are difficult to see because they are so small. There are quite a few done with a similar color pallet. The sky and building features in yours appear to be less striking than some of the others I found online.

    Looks to be a pallet knife painting.

    yes on reading about different techniques I think it, some areas look almost 3 dimensional.

    I cannot attest to the authenticity of the siggy of any of those online images.

    Perhaps another member will be familiar with her work?

    thank you, as per Internet she signed her name 2 different ways which has led to the confliction about whether some paintings are original

    Your painting is bright, interesting and very nice. But with her signature done so many different ways, how the heck do you authenticate??????:nailbiting::nailbiting::cyclops:

    If she is still alive, I wouldn't hesitate to try to write to her and include a photograph to see if she painted it. Best of luck to you! :cat:
