Question
i have a landscape oil painting signed k.laurence.could you please tell me who they are and a bit about them.

Answer
Hello John - and thank you for your question.  Regrettably, I cannot answer it!  I've never heard of an artist by the name of 'K. Laurence', and even a cursory search of my usual art historical resources reveals nothing.  It would help your search to know where you acquired the painting and, if from a gallery, whether the vendor can offer you any information.  S/he (Laurence) doesn't rank among the 'greats' of art's histories but that's not to say that this artist may not become 'great' as the years pass.  
So sorry not to have been able to help.
Cheers
Jeni
