Looks like black veins that stand out. And the the pieces were rarely geometric machine looking, more modern abstract. Sometimes you find a little "Witco-Where decor becomes art" card stapled on the back of it, but that's rare. A lot of the "paintings" (wood on framed fabric background) were signed "Wilrongo", an anagram formed from William Westenhaver, Ronald Hovde, and Gordon Robb, the three main guys at Witco. They come in all kinds of styles, Tiki, Coonquistador, Modern, Animals, Asian, Viking....
