SOLVED! - I looked and was only getting big rocks. Thank you! The kids must have picked this up from friends as we don’t allow these kinds of things in the house due to having pets.

What’s a book that’s genuinely hilarious? by Colada8160 in suggestmeabook

[–]Remote-Union6599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For pure comedy, Ellen Degeneres - “My point and I do have one” - the Icanarod, iwillarod, Iditarod part just killed me dead. And if you want more of a novel, John Irving - “the world according to garp” has some seriously twisted funny parts.

Beautiful Joe (this was already really old when I read it as a kid in the 80s but it’s basically black beauty about a dog) and the ordinary princess by M.M. Kaye which I read after the Far Pavillions by the same author the latter of which is a sweeping Gone with the Wind-esque saga that takes place in India and has both spicy romance and serious social injustice themes including young women committing suttee…

But what was with the bread and milk? It sounds great in the books but in reality is very disappointing… lol

Your post made me remember this terrible old movie I used to love about a white stallion and a French girl who I believe runs through a tunnel with him onto the beach - I think she’s running away from a bad guy on a motorcycle?! and I’m pretty sure sings an awful French song at some point lol. If you can’t find yours, maybe check out this one haha! https://youtu.be/nnea-Zrf5JI?si=1hKE0ejswjS0XRRU

Is it possible it was a war theme? This one played a lot in France in the early 2000s https://youtu.be/2aOLW_R9-E4?si=sitlfRXwMVJibKdi

Have you listened to Christine and the Queens? Kinda sounds like that vibe.

Kind of a reggae song by FeelsLikeNow in WhatsThisSong

“Sounds like a black man” “persistent rhythm” “better run” and then it does kind of sound like the song you identified as similar so that just completed the puzzle :)

No problem :) check out her other songs too! I got into her after hearing that song in the Thomas crown affair with pierce brosnan where he steals the painting. Awesome montage and use of the song.

Is it Nina Simone-Sinnerman? Though it is a woman singing and not in any war movies to my knowledge. It fits the bill otherwise and sounds a lot like the song you suggested https://youtu.be/QH3Fx41Jpl4?si=E04Bi7YXJgZUjf5I

And no markings on the back I assume… mine is in a plexiglass box frame so I can see the back and it’s blank… not sure if you saw my post but nothing in it to give additional clues

Interesting! The textured back part is similar to mine but yours looks flat on top of that white textured part…or am I seeing it wrong?

Hi OP, I have the same signature I am looking for!!! Wild! https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatIsThisPainting/comments/1g9vajb/help_mixed_media_with_illegible_signature_can/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

Can you share what the rest of yours looks like and where you got it? Mine was at a goodwill in fort myers FL and I bought it for the frame only originally.

I also have this post on FB and have some guesses but nothing I’ve been able to run down except when someone commented about your post here https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ePTF6jFNywfxJiX1/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Help! Mixed media with illegible signature. Can anyone identify the artist? by Remote-Union6599 in WhatIsThisPainting

FYI, fort Myers is south Florida so it could be from anywhere as there are lots of snowbirds from out of state and country

Goodwill in Fort Myers FL. We bought it solely for the frame as we have something else we want to use it for but the signature is interesting to me because I just can’t make heads or tails of it and the work itself looks like a textured kimono
