J.R.Gregoire

Yes, I have found another painting , similar scene, same painter and signature online. I will look for that again and reference it later. I don't know anything about the artist.

I have an oil painting similar to yours, but different, same artist. 

All 3 paintings are of the same subject matter and the same colors are used.

I have no idea of the value, or where it originated.

I found mine at a small used furniture business.

I can't seem to load the photo, so here is my email bweedman043 @yahoo.com if you want. I will try again later to upload the photos. Can you tell me what the text says about  the artist. It is hard to read.

it is Gregoire Boonzair. Gregoire Boonzaier was a South African artist well known for his landscapes, portraits and still life paintings. He was a famous exponent of Cape Impressionism, a founder of the New Group, and a contributor, through his art works, to the struggle against apartheid. He was the fifth child of political cartoonist Daniël Cornelis Boonzaier and his cousin Maria Elizabeth Boonzaier. Early on Gregoire made the acquaintance of the artists Pieter Wenning, Nita Spilhaus, Moses Kottler and Anton van Wouw, all of whom were close family friends. It was Moses Kottler who first gave Gregoire a box of paints in 1922 and Nita Spilhaus an easel in 1926, igniting a creative flame that was to burn for more than eighty years. Gregoire's father was dead set against a formal training in art and felt that he had more to learn from the artists around him. In 1923 his first two oil paintings were shown at Ashbey's Gallery in Cape Town, simply signed "GREGOIRE". His first one-man exhibition followed two years later – he was to hold more than 100 one-man exhibitions during his painting career.
