OK, John, here is the picture I took of my painting by Frank Bowers. The painting itself measures 36"x48" not including the frame. The over-exposure on the right side is due to the light coming in from the window, not any condition problems. The painting is in excellent condition. What bothers me is that the signature looks NOTHING like the ones I see on mural pics posted here. Could Vicki have helped?

From the latimemachine site, here is an image from the Foc'sle bar -- you can see some of the same elements from this Chinese port scene, but again, the signature does not match at all!

I was thinking of selling it, because it doesn't quite fit above my mantle...but the colors go well in my living room and it's kind of growing on me...it seems to produce its own source of light in the colors. - Melody
