I cannot answer the question for certain, but I do own an oil painting signed "C B Austin" which I purchased years ago in Huron, Ohio from a woman in Berlin Heights, Ohio. The subject of this very large and beautiful oil painting is hunting dogs in the field, and is in the post impressionist style. This artist could have been a student of the Cleveland School, as there was a Cleveland School sponsored summer program in Berlin Heights, I'm told. This painting was I believe, a "fire screen", as it is painted on both sides of the canvas. The obverse side is a autumn scene of a trail through a forest in full fall foliage.
