help with paintings 1 of 2

[sandfisher]

Bought 2 paintings at Goodwill. Not on a frame. They were rolled and stuck in a corner. 2.99 and 1.99. This was unusually cheap. Although I have been finding deals like this lately at Goodwill. This was a little cheaper than normal.

The first one is 47 X 36 for the scene. The entire canvas is 59 X 48.
Now keep in mind I'm not good with this. But I'm sure it's oil.
Not signed.
Appears to be a lady walking by the river, on the opposite bank from the house located in the woods.
I thought maybe by starting with the type of trees and maybe identifying the river(?) and the type of clothing on the woman this might be a good start.

I'm researching this. But a little lost
Anybody have any ideas.

Thank you,

Guess there is no signature ??  Looks like a hobby painter to me !!

No signature or mark of any type.
In your opinion, if you don't mind? What do you think of the quality of work?

I think it is very nicely done .  Not a master's level but talented.

I feel the same way about it.
Someone had talent.

As I said in the other post (#2) looks like someones attempt at surreal art !!  Color palette is pretty much the same on both !!  Since neither piece is signed,, I can only gather the artist didn`t like his own work !! Honestly I found that it missed any kind of meaning !! Its confusing and boring to me,,but I must admit,,surreal art is not my cup of tea !!

I agree, esp. on the painting with the barn. I was confused. Was the wolf being attacked by the sheep?  didn't quite understand.
Thank you for your help, Mart.
Appreciate it.
