Thanks again for your help!

Answer
Hi Lynn,
Thanks for sending the fotos, I looked up the artist Klever (Russian), the middle initial does not match, but I would keep looking.  Your painting was certainly painted by a professional artist, its really a fantastic painting.  I also looked at German Google, and found nothing.

It would probably be worth it to find an appraiser to have a look at it.

Regards
