Those are beautiful paintings, while I can’t tel you who the artist is… I am pretty sure that they are done in the “Bob Ross Style” so it would be oil paint - “wet on wet” technique. I am not 100% certain, but it really looks like oil to me. 🏔

From what i could gather it is oil but im not an artist and trying to differentiate between oil and acrylic was pretty hard for me.
The main reason i want to know who it is is that guests that come to my home keep asking me who the artist is and i cant give them an answer. It never really bothered me before but i feel like im doing it a disservice by not knowing as i really like the painting.
As for the Bob Ross comment that is all i was getting when i google searched it lol so i agree with you on that one. River banks, Trees/foliage and a mountain in the background seems a popular choice for artists!
Thank you for you input regardless.

Holy shit I have almost the same one in my house. Artist is P. Warden

I just picked up a similar landscape painting from a thrift store yesterday. Artist is also P. Warden (I’m located in Brooklyn, NY)

P warden isn't a real artist, this was done by a random Chinese factory worker

I really don’t think so. I would believe it if it was one of those mass produced printed canvases that you get at like, home goods. This has an artists hand clearly in it, with a lot of textural paint and brush strokes. I can’t imagine it would be advantageous to have a factory of people spending the 40+ hours it takes to make an oil painting of this size. I’ve also been able to find a bunch of p.wardens other work in different places on the internet.

I'm sorry but you're wrong.

Lol okay. Even if it was done by a factory worker (which I don’t think it is because I’ve seen this work in contemporary art auction websites) it’s a real oil painting with a lot of technique, they’d still count as a real artist.

Here is the album with more images https://imgur.com/a/V26zuFF
Ive had this for a few years now and i cant entirely remember where i got it from. The artists signature is visable but its hard to make out as its in a dark part of the painting.
Ive tried to google image search but it seems a popular choice of scenery and im not getting any results. Im based in England if that is any help.
From what i can make out the signature starts with Kle and ends with a Y.
I believe it is an oil or acrylic painting but im not sure how to tell the two apart if im being honest also its on canvas.
If anymore information is required please let me know thank you in advance.

This is a decor painting, see the pinned post. The tells are the subject matter, the water-as-gradient, and the leaves created by stippling the brush over and over.
Thanks i did read the post before i posted this but i think the stamp and tag on the back of the canvas threw me off. As i said in the other comment i dont know much about art and it wasnt to value the painting or anything just to find out a bit more information about it as i get asked on occasion.
All good, it’s a lovely painting to have on your wall! Unfortunately there is no more information to be discovered about the artist because it isn’t that type of painting.
Who actually does these decor paintings? Are people hired to just churn them out Bob Ross style? (Not a diss on Bob Ross)
If you give the post a read, they are made in Chinese painting factories mostly.
