Re: Ot - do you know where the watercolor was done?
Lol! I don't think my water color sketches are um quite up to par. Also seems unlikely the "Renoir" is authentic... smells like a hoax to me. ann On 9/8/2012 13:53, John Sessoms wrote: In the spirit of Ann's Salvation Army watercolor discoveries ... http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/07/a-possible-renoir-surfaces-at-a-virginia-flea-market/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

From: Ann Sanfedele John -- yes indeed Igor and Chris Mitchell wrote extensively and sent more photos. It was kind of interesting that Chris and you both honed in on the waterwheel first, as opposed to the structures in the other photo, too glad I needed to ask - a nice voyage ann I recognized I had seen a photo of that waterwheel before - I think from a travel photography workshop - so I had a pretty good idea I could find a photo of it online. I thought it was Amsterdam because of the canal. I did a Google Image search for "Amsterdam canals + waterwheel", and that photo turned up as the first image in the second row of results. Further reading makes me think that canal & waterwheel is a fairly common tourist view you can see from the bridge. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Ot - do you know where the watercolor was done?
Wow ! what excellent resources you guys are! Thanks Igor and Chris so .. I bought both of these at the Salvation Army for $5 total. One was framed one was not - in fact, the framed one was in a bin about to go back to the main store and the other was just lying on a shelf. I'm glad I was right that the buildings were significant - I thought the other was more generic and guessed Eastern Europe but didn't have anything real to base that on. The one that was framed was poorly matted - that is, clearly not cut by a pro. and the two pieces had tape residue on the back of each (which I'll show if I put them on ebay) On 9/7/2012 13:27, Igor Roshchin wrote: Ann, Following the lead from Chris, I think I found what is depicted on the left photo Charles Bridge and the Old Town Bridge Tower in Prague: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bridge See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Prague_-_Charles_Bridge.jpg and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Karlsbr%C3%BCcke00.jpg and http://cache2.allpostersimages.com/p/LRG/30/3061/FJEDF00Z/posters/barnes-david-charles-bridge-and-old-town-bridge-tower-prague-czech-republic.jpg http://annsan.smugmug.com/Misceandvids/Things-Im-selling-directly-Not/6280507_84bVv7/1/2072317721_B8WZHPf/Large Cheers, Igor -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Ot - do you know where the watercolor was done?
Ann, I do not know anything about the paintings or the location. However, I thought I'd offer a guess that may help in your investigations. It is possible that the signature is actually for the name "Zitka" (that blot which is consisten on both paintings, might stand for "a"). Zitka appears to be a rather common last name. If I were to guess, I'd place its origin to Eastern Europe, probably Czechia or maybe Slovakia. While it might be a very long shot, based on that, I wonder if what is pictured is in Prague or Bratislava, both cities standing on rivers. With both cities being major tourtist destinations (especially Prague), it is quite conceivable that they were bought at one of the street markets from a local (possibly unknown) artist and brought into the US.
