[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 1218756, member: 84"]I bought this today at a small local thrift store - they had just brought it out with a $250 price on it & I asked (and the manager agreed) if they would sell it to me for $120. I found George Russin who appears to be a well known artist & the signature looks the same/very close. This is painted on board & measures 23" 37" (art only w/o frame), but in some places it looks like it has a varnish that is turning dark and in another area it looks like you can see the board underneath/where paint ended? Was this his style? Is this a George Russin painting? Any idea of it's name? Any info/thoughts would be appreciated Thanks! [ATTACH=full]214769[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]214770[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]214771[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]214772[/ATTACH] NELOW ARE CLOSE UPS OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE BOARD UNDERNEATH & DISCOLORATION (FROM VARNISH?)
