    Hi Mo! Love your find!

    I thought Maurice Provost......google brought up Maurille Prevost, but she painted in oil and the signature is much different.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    The photo showing the signature is pretty small, but the first letter in the first name looks more like an H than an M to me. Could be wrong, though.

    Also, several sites show sold paintings by a Maurice Prevost (not the famous aviator, I assume). I don't see a sig on any of them, and am not a member to see more. However, the style looks very different to me.

    Search T L Trevost. I haven't followed it, but there might be something there.
