Recently, I bought an oil painting that just looked good. Now I am curious about the artist, and where is the place in the picture actually is.

I bought this picture from someone who was leaving the city. I liked the colors and nature scenes appeal to me.

	The painting represents a river bordered by trees. The colors are browns, beiges, and cyan.

	This is the signature. It spells : "Routh", with no date.

I was able to locate two possible painters named Routh, one in England, and another, Curtis Routh, in Nebraska.

Since this painting ended up in Southern Ontario, it is unlikely that its source is England. The Nebraska source seemed more likely.

I sent a letter by post to the possible painter in Nebraska, but got no reply at all.

Later, I was able to locate Stan Routh, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It is unlikely that he is the painter, since he does not seem to do oil paintings.

If you are able to identify who the painter is, or what river this represents, I would like to hear from you. Thanks in advance.
