About Stuart Cartwright
Expertise
American Fine Art Paintings.
Oils, Watercolors, Sketches. Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century. Hudson River School, Pennsylvania Academy, Cape Ann artists, Ash Can, Woodstock, Florida Indian River, American Impressionists, etc. I can provide some background about artists and perhaps a rough appraisal or guidance towards obtaining a value. I am acquainted with many of the best American art dealers and auction houses. Original works only, I do not follow the print market. I do NOT field questions about prints.

Important to know
I am not expert in European art. I encourage you to send questions on European artists to other experts on this service. NO PRINTS:I encourage you to seek help on prints elsewhere. Two sites come to mind: www.artoftheprint.com and www.philaprintshop.com

Experience
I have been collecting original American Fine Art for over 20 years. I have curated art shows, and I have served as a dealer, providing appraisals and guidance for the last 8 years.

Education
B.A. American History
MBA

Fine Art - Old oil Painting

Expert: Stuart Cartwright - 11/2/2009

Question
Did you receive both the signature picture and the full picture?
Thank You

Answer
I did not receive the picture of the painting. Merely the signature.

I suggest you may have a listed artist. Signature looked like "Fr... Carroll" to me.

And I find three instances of "Fr..Carroll"s in art records.

Flora Houghton Carroll   California   1865   1935
Frances M. Carroll   New Jersey
Frank Carroll           California   lived in SF in late 1930s

There is next to no information about any of these artists, save arcane mentions in art directories. One source you might consult is found at www.edanhughs.com who has published lists of early California artists.

Good luck in you research.
Stu
