Question
I have a painting which appears to be signed by M. Merida. It is a floral arrangement of poppies. Could this be Manuel Merida?
As I can not see the image I obviously can't say one way or the other but I have never known Merida to paint straight-up floral arrangements -but I am far from being even considered knowledgeable on this period. I would suggest visiting your local gallery that handles serious modern painters for their input
Good Luck

Expertise
As a conservator my focus is on the preservation/care of art objects as opposed to their value. I may assist in the identification of materials used in art making and some of the techniques in traditional art production. Please do not ask me about non-traditional medias such as computer software used to create "modern art". My three areas of specialty are: -European painting and sculpture (1600-1800) -The artifacts and documents of United Empire Loyalist (1770-1850) -Classic Fishing tackle (1850-1960) anything outside these areas may receive vague answers that merely point you in a fruitful direction.
Experience

Education/Credentials
