   Hi there, Wonder if you can help identifying these pictures.
   
   I recently purchased these two 8"x 10" pictures locally here in Australia and needs some help identifying the artist-value-age.
   The pictures seems to look old. Painted in oil on a card board, the paint seems to be cracking when inspected with a magnifying glass.
   There is a signature that seems to be scraped through the wet paint.See Pictures.
   Would appreciate any details if you can.
   Thanks

   Nobody can identify a painting from a bad photo of a small section posted online.
   
   If you have a print, which will be flat and smooth on the front, and flat on the back, it probably has very little value.
   
   If you think you have a painting on canvas, rather than a print, take it to an appraiser to find out about its value.

   Thank you Lisa, I am so sorry for the bad picture. I think I will re-post a better picture tomorrow.
   It is a oil painting on card board. I will attach more pictures later.

      Don't bother with pictures. Nobody can appraise your paintings from photos. Take them to someone who can look at them in person.
      
      Also: oil generally isn't worked on cardboard, because the surface sucks the oil from the paints.
