plz any info on oil painting

[cogar]

I did over do it a bit ..... but I wasn't in a hurry so .... I figured "if Kc doesn't know why I'm being so pesty about the frame then there will sure be a bunch more viewers that will be also".

After I posted that long one I said to myself, .... d--m, should have said "stretcher frame" at the git-go. My bad .... for not doing so. CRS ya know.

i won't pretend to know a whole lot of where this painting could come from or who even painted it ans when.but i will bring up the fact that it is funny ppl mentioning new orleans it is almost reminiscent of the voodoo queen of new orleans miss marie laveau. nice painting btw!

Cogar your excused, you were only pointing out certain fact's. it honestly look's like oil on board, which may account for the chip damage. we have a nice group here now. and sometimes I just set back & watch.

It's sure tough to figure some things out from brief descriptions and o/l images .

I noticed the slight & regular scalloping of the canvas at the top (not at the bottom , by the bucket o' guts  ) , and I thought it looked very much like a streched & 'set' canvas that had been cut out of it's strecher-frame .

I still do .

I love this board!!!!!  Even the bantering!  Makes it fun and interesting. 

Cogar....your explanations are awesome!  D&b, noticed you didn't seem to be posting as much....I agree...we aren't having to answer so many because there is a nice, large group that are jumping in with all kinds of information!  Some days my brain hurts there is so much to learn!  :O

What's interesting, is Sarah Baselica did a painting called fortune teller look's very much like this one with the same Bucket of '' Gut's'' if I remember correctly her painting, had one less female. but the art work.... look's like Sara's.

Why thank you KC, I appreciate that nice comment.

I kinda keep my eye on the "# of Views" for each posting, and the one's that are really "hot" ..... I know there are bunches of people wanting to learn more about that specific item and the things they can read from all the expertise of the Posters here-on they are not likely to find any place else on the Net. 

A Forum like this one is about the only place the "young folks" can learn about the history and uses of the "What is its".

[amandal]

also i have tried to research the sarah baselica painting and i cant seem to find anything regarding any such person could you give me advice on where to look?

[regularjoe2]

I'd most strongly recommend that you use a very powerful tool when you get to thinking about cleaning this painting , amandal .

That tool is common sense .

Leave the cleaning of your fragile painting to someone with specific experience in cleaning oil paintings !!!

I'm certain that this one would make a very bad 'beginners' project , esp. in it's current condition .
The painting really belongs in/on a stretcher frame .

Nothing wrong with learning about how-to , but causing more damage might make you cuss .

I thought it was determined that this painting was done by, or copied from, Harry Roseland.
