    I found this at my local thrift store today - thoughts?
    Also, does signature simply say Walt?!
    Saw back of canvas - thought it was extremely old - until I saw a lot was paint + what looks like a great rendition of a steer hoof that must have been the start of a painting until they changed their mind?
    PS - Painting is still old i.e. .. the wood spacers and the nails used to nail canvas to frame - what year/years is this from?
    Thanks all

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    I think the piece on the back is way more interesting than the front. :joyful:

    If you turned it around it would probably sell as it is quite quirky:bag:

    Hair looks 1940s style, plus I think she has shoulder pads.

    Men sure do seem to like to focus in on a camel toe:)

    I know, I know it's not a camel, but still !

    It looks like someone took a large canvas and cut it up to reuse. Too bad because the little I can see of the hoof looks like a better artist painted it.

    I'd be tempted to sell it on eboo entitled
    "Rodeo Painting - "The last thing you'll see"" :bag:

    Can you try another pic of the sig?

    IMO, the most likely person to cut up a painted canvas and re-use it is the artist who painted it. Can't hurt to try and sort the signature on the portrait.
