Description

I belive that this painting was purchased in Florida by a relative and it has come to me.  It may have been bought in the last half of the 20th century.  It is signed in script in the lower right hand corner with just the word "gilbert".  If anyone has any works by this artist or knows anything about him/her I would be grateful for whatever information you can give me.  Thank you.

Paintings like this are often from the 1950s and 1960s or 1980's examples sold at "Art on the Fence" type of events. The artist who painted this one appears to be a unknown. Paintings of this type are often the work of unknown artists, sold at "Starving Artists/Art on the Fence" events that were advertised as a chance to buy "Genuine Oil Paintings at discount prices", also offering upscale framing options, on which they make most of their profit. Each sale would have a wide selection of painted scenes, if a particular street or beach scene sells well the Wholesaler will order multiples of it for the next show. The signatures on these paintings are often just pseudonyms, the real Artists name or even where they were painted remaining unknown. In the current market most of them sell as Decorator Art for under $150.00 at auction
