Help with identifying a "Ross" Painting

I found this painting not long ago and was wondering if someone might be able to help identify the artist. I really like it and would like to know a little bit about the artist. It does need to be reframed though. It is painted on an Anco Bilt canvas. Here is a link to the picture.

@nicktommadsky,
It's "Sofa Art". Painted in a factory by probably more than one person and then signed with a random name. These are commonly sold in furniture stores to match fabric on sofas - thus the trade name of Sofa Art. I think it was painted sometime between The Sound of Music and Saturday Night Fever.

@Green Witch,
Agreed. In this instance it looks like they're trying to pawn it off as a Bob Ross painting, but he signs his name a little differently than what I see on that one.

@Questioner,
Yeah, and it's over painted. I'm not a Ross fan, but if anything, he under painted his landscapes.

@Green Witch,
And the coup de grace -- those trees don't look happy at ALL.

@sozobe,
Definitely cranky trees. It they had apples they would be throwing them at us.
