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.
