Now my husband has it and I was about to discard it when I took it out of the frame and saw the name. One posting I came across lists it as vintage calendar art circ 1910's-1940's with a price of $50.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114455879935593299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412585995029504644.post-2855058244767981262011-05-01T14:17:44.083-07:002011-05-01T14:17:44.083-07:00I just discoverd your blog through June's Laug...I just discoverd your blog through June's Laughing with Angels blog.

My father is a sculptor and painter, and my mother paints. <br /><br />Funny that story about your dad. :o) My grandfather used to walk around behind the construction workers when they were building his house (which we lived in 80 years later) and nail extra nails into the boards. He wanted it to be sturdy. :o) They were very afraid of tornadoes in North Texas, with good reason!<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by. I really enjoyed your flora link party. BTW, I hold a "Tuesday Tea" linky party and it's kind of getting a slow start. I'd love to have you join it. We take photos of pretty things in the house, our favorite teas, tea cups etc. and I 'share from the heart' about things women often chat about. It's sort of a 'virtual tea party'. I'd love to have you join me too. :o)<br /><br />Thanks for showing us the inscriptions and nails on the back. I enjoyed seeing that! I have so many antiques and I guess I will have to try out the Vintage Friday party you mentioned too.<br /><br />xo<br />Donna @ Comin' HomeDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944882257793647449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412585995029504644.post-70171678570125035372011-01-09T05:41:40.116-08:002011-01-09T05:41:40.116-08:00I also love vintage, romantic images like these......I also love vintage, romantic images like these..........love i t!<br />Trish xoCountry Livin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/15661588356784050263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412585995029504644.post-26113082213629920652011-01-08T17:13:25.989-08:002011-01-08T17:13:25.989-08:00Very pretty paintings...so soft, pretty and lovely...Very pretty paintings...so soft, pretty and lovely.

Looks like he was an easal artist that in the early 1900's. But boy mine sure is antiqued in color –(compared to your link Anita) it’s more of an orange/pink - you’d think it was my photography, but that is truly what the picture looks like……which probably makes it worth absolutely “priceless”!Fishtail Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14490056923743934726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412585995029504644.post-24526191185234573192011-01-07T18:31:28.357-08:002011-01-07T18:31:28.357-08:00oh, my Anita...you are incredible! never would ha...oh, my Anita...you are incredible! never would have found it on my own...i was going with the comment that NanaDiana made that it was worth hundreds of dollars by a no named artist....lol<br />thank you....that is really fun to find out more about the print...So nice of you! thank you!Fishtail Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14490056923743934726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412585995029504644.post-21346914619720366182011-01-07T18:09:40.747-08:002011-01-07T18:09:40.747-08:00The signature is Hy.

It looks like one of the ones that young women "students" did to "pass the time and improve themselves"...they did a lot of them using pastels and oils...and because they were considered to be not serious works of art most of them were considered disposable. I have one that is very similar to yours. I love it. I didn't know what it was until my friend who has been an antique dealer for about 40 years told me what it was. I found mine in a thrift shop and paid about $20 for it...and was bummed cuz I had to pay THAT much in a thrift shop - I think it was the most expensive thing there-lol. Anyway, they sell for about $300-$400. depending on the student's ability and colors they used. <br /><br />I am happy to have found you and I signed up as a follower.
