Check this out... Probably at least 200 years old based on the amount of garbage that was in the dumpster around it.

HAHAA this guy is either an 8 year old starting out his artist career or a complete genius... either way this has got to be worth thousands... and I think bigwull will be the first bidder... ill start it at $5,500 (by the way it really does look nice to me... you guys must have the art eye that I do not)

Still couldn`t see the texture of the paper !! If the paper looks rough on an unpainted part it may be watercolor paper !!  Don`t know what size it is but I like the mixture of mediums and many artists use a similar method !! I have done similar method but I used acrylic on watercolor paper !!  Did one like that except different style of an Elk in woods,framed it and donated it to a local art group for fundraising auction !! Someone stole the darn thing before the auction date !! We still don`t know where it is hanging !!  You might try googling for mixed medium art of the place/building in your painting !!

..."By 1952 he was living and working in Old Quebec City, where he became a Canadian citizen. He painted numerous street scenes as decoration for the stately Chateau Frontenac as he was doing the same as his livelihood. Over a nine year period in Quebec City he produced hundreds of works, some of which were eventually sold through U.S. outlets."...
