Question
Hello,

Is a signature by C Inness on an oil painting of any significance?
I have attached a picture.

Thanks

Howard

Answer
Hello Howard,

This is possibly a painting by Clara Inness.  
Clara Davis Inness.
Born in Illinois on Nov. 2, 1874. While in San Francisco in 1896-99, Inness studied at the Mark Hopkins Art Institute. A spinster, she died of cancer in Santa Barbara, CA on Jan. 15, 1932.
You may find more about her in;

Here are some links i found about her...
