exquisite vintage velvet painting, who painted this nude woman?

hi! i am new here, i just aquired this gorgeous original, vintage painting, of a nude dark skinned woman , african or latin descent, with blue eyes, long straight silky black hair, shes standing waist deep in water, in a unique, hand carved wood frame, i want to sell it but the artists signature is hard to make out. it almost looks like two capital B's with ueno maybe bueno or buena but the second to last letter also looks like a t. or maybe suerta. the B's almost look like two big 3's! this is driving me crazy!? any help on this painting or even possible value, would be such a relief. thank you all! beautiful art in this forum!
thank you again! jenny garcia
p.s how can i add photos for everyone to see this painting?

You can go to a site like imageshack ( http://www.imageshack.com ) and upload the pictures there, and then link to them with an image tag here "" minus the quotes.

Hope this helps!
