@ossobuco,
Ok, ok, that painting is by Elmer Bischoff, one of the people I think of as part of the San Francisco school (think Park and Diebenkorn et al).

I'm hoping to get this started again - anyone have a new painting for the quiz?

Both your guesses, Osso and Fbaezer, are quite far, even though Fb is closer than Osso..

@Francis,
I'm guessing French and that those are the initials C. L.

@George,
Yes, George, I ruled out France.

However, the initials are indeed those of the painter...

@George,
He indeed looks like Chekhov.

But then he is also the doubleganger of Jamie, from Mythbusters..
