Here’s another painting that’s driving us crazy! We love Toronto’s Group of Seven painters, the 12 (?) painters who took Canada by storm in the 1920’s. This looks like something by a member, but it isn’t signed…
It does have an inscription on the back of the Canadian made board, that looks like this (click the image for a larger version):
Can anybody make sense of it? Looks like “North Carolina Mts.” at the top, but the next two lines are beyond me. The last looks like a signature. Anyway, we really like the painting. It’s 9 x 12 inches, and in it’s original Arts and Crafts carved frame. If you think you recognize something, front or back, email us.

We want to welcome back an artist who was part of our gallery family for many years. You may remember the wonderful still lives of apples, pears and lemons by Melinda Mellor. Well, Melinda Borysevicz is back with really terrific still paintings that will take you by surprise. Here is just one example (we have more and I promise to get them up on the website soon).
