Painting also from the Lyman Brothers in Indianapolis 78063 A Do you possibly have any info on this painting It is signed J H?
I worked at Lyman Brothers in the 60's. I can tell you it was framed or fitted there because the 78063 number is the order number and the letter A is actually the initial of the person who did the framing and fitting. A would be for Annie, but I forget her last name. I don't see an image of the painting here. Would you happen to know who K was at the gallery? I have a painting that he or she framed?
What is the name for painting not in a studio?
Outdoor painting or Plein air.
