I want to find out who made a certain painting. How can I find out


It is an older man on a small row boat holding a young child. The waters are real rough and they are sitting in back end of the small boat. The man is wearing a yellow rain jacket/coat I believe. The child looks frightened, but the man is determined to protect her.


Over the summer while working security at the hospital I noticed it on a wall while doing rounds. It was in the Family Birthing Center. I always glanced at it and it never left me. I want to find a print of it. Not sure where to look though.

What style is it in? Fine art etc etc.



Living a life kept shut by a dream,
I'm reaching out to grasp my reality.
Hands of time wrap tight around my neck, and hit me so hard,
leaving me eyes black.
staring at a ceiling,
wondering why i never left,
penning words in a notebook,
wondering why haven't slept.
sanity is tapping in a cell
inside my fucking head.
begging for redemption
after hearing what was said.
the nights, they will not sleep
cause the days, have played for keeps.

The hospital got rid of them from what I was told. They remodeled the FBC area since I left. I told a guy I worked with how much I liked the painting and supposedly they offered some of them to employees.

Damn, Clevo, you're making it difficult for us to help!

Did most of the artwork look similar? There's a good chance that everything was by the same artist (so that it looks nice on the wall, but everything "matches" and doesn't distract you), so you can ask the guy you know or call the Family Birthing Center and ask them if they know who the artist is. If you can find that out, you should be able to find his/her collection and then just have to search until you find the right one.

The other option is to post the name of the hospital, and some of us can search around online to try and find out if the artist's name is mentioned online. If it's a local artist, it's probably somewhere online - likely in a local paper or mentioned on the artist's website.

I wonder if it was a local buy that painted them all for the office?

From what I can gather most hospitals hang paintings by local painters. That's why a large percentage of them look like shit.
