Dear Crystal,
Greetings and thank you for submitting images of this oil on canvas painting to Mearto for evaluation. Because the signature is partially obscured from the frame, would you be willing to remove it from the frame and upload an image of the full signature?
Thank you and I look forward to assisting you.
Sincerely,
Erin-Marie
Dear Crystal,
As a professional, were it in my office, I could carefully remove it and replace it without damage, but I completely understand your reluctance.
What I shall do for you is open this to the other experts on the platform, perhaps they can decipher the signature based upon the information you have provided.
Most Sincerely,
Erin-Marie
That would wonderful and I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you
You are quite welcome, taking care of it right now.
I would rather not try to remove the frame. As a professional you should know that removing the frame could damage the painting. If you can not help me without removing it, I will take it to someone who is more qualified to appraise it.
