Default Painting signed C Hunter

Is anyone familiar with an artist by the name of C HUNTER?
I am sorry that I don't have a picture of the painting but I just saw it in a store.It was about 60", I think it was oil on canvas. As far as I remember it was painted in van gogh/ monet style. It was some landscape with I think two ladies in the middle.
Sorry one more time that I don't give you better description but any help will be welcomed.
thanks in advance

All I could find for a C. Hunter is this auction - http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/lee/art/1719123888.html

There was a Clementine Hunter that painted folk art.

Thanks. Never thought to search craigslist. I think the painting I saw looks similar to this one but is much bigger. The one on the link says 2' x 2' 1/2 , that sound strange, the painting is 2 inches?
Anyway, I will try to contact the seller to check if he got more info.
thanks again

2" = 2 inches
2' = 2 feet

Excuse my ignorance. I am just not used to that metric system. But I kinda figure it out just a bit after I post my previous reply.
Thanks

That would be the English System, the British Imperial System not Metric.

Default c hunter painting

I just purchased a beautiful framed C Hunter painting at an estate sale... loved it.

Paid $1500.

Oil on canvas, blue/pink pastels in Monet style.

Woman in pink appears to be picking flowers with two figures sitting by a lake.

Again, absolutely loved it... no idea what the true value is...but it is gorgeous and signed - but mostly loved it.

I also have a very large oil painting signed by C. Hunter. It is of a woman in blue holding a pink parasol and a girl in pink clutching flowers. Both are facing a lake. It looks like a Monet done in oils. It is very beautiful.

Default C. Hunter

I too am interested in tracking down the elusive C. Hunter. I have an oil on canvas that I'm sure is an original and not mass produced. I bought mine from a Korean gentleman who had it hanging on the wall in his coffee shop in a city in western Canada. He told me he brought with him when he moved to Canada but had no other history to pass on. If anyone has any luck finding C. Hunter I would love to hear about it.

Default I have some sad news for you my friend.

I just purchased a 4' by 3' painting signed C. Hunter at an estate auction for $65 and saved the $1,435. Sorry, but this artist comes from the "Hungry Artist" clan you see occasionally art fairs throughout the country. The original buyer got the piece for $250. You got ripped!!

Default C. Hunter

I disagree with the assessment that anyone "got ripped". My C. Hunter painting has been conservatively appraised as "priceless" by several art loving friends. If your aware that the original buyer got the piece for $250.00 you must have an incredible info source. Perhaps you could share so we can all check this out.

Red face C. Hunter

Just got a C.Hunter painting. It is on fibro I think. It is dated l921 and is of a young women of that era in I believe riding costume . It is just her face and she is wearing a hat. Colours are brown and fawns with very red lipstick. It is beautiful and I dont care how much it cost.
