@deepaw,
This all makes me aware that I should re sign my remaining paintings, on the back , or not? By now that might look fake, as my writing isn't what it used to be. Though I suppose people could glean from my drivers license sigs over time, if they cared a whit.. They wouldn't match those first ones, the polite scripting me.
I've signed stuff and and some nonsense since the seventies. Originally, I used the first part of my first name, or maybe the initial, along with the last, in a polite script. Later I used my initials. Later, I sort of hid my initials, in the grass or whatever. I'm no strong artist, but I've sold well enough from time to time.
Back later.
