Does anybody recoginze the drawing or the signature? Actually it might be a Canadian artist as it was found in a thrift shop in Ottawa. |

check the back and see if the pins and backing board/paper are the same age as the frame, or whether they have been removed to put in a more recent drawing. Might give you an idea of when it was drawn if it seems to be original to the frame? |

i think taking it out of the frame is not a good idea, best leave it intact until an art expert sees it, unless as Rose says it has been tampered with already |

I have googled several possibilities and looked at their pictures. Not one has a signature like the one on your painting. |

it's a very amateur drawing the perspective between the people and the fence is all wrong they are in the foreground and should look bigger, also the detail on the trees is not good especially the trunks, and the chalk clouds if you look at one the chalk has been applied across the top of the tree actually making the charcoal look a misty grey |

I quite often buy old frames at car boot sales to put my own drawing and paintings in, has she said if the original backing is still on? |

Stella, I used to do that. Bought a picture for £2.50, purely for the frame, in a local jumble sale. Didn't use it, stored the pic under my bed. |
