Need help on this painting

JJK · September 24th, 2010, 08:36 AM

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and there are alot of interesting topics on here I enjoy. Today I received this painting from my uncle but all I can tell you about it that is was autographed by Lanny McDonald and was painted for the 1989 Stanley cup finals. If anyone can help me with any information about this like value history about the artist I would appreciated your help

Seems to be signed to "Houre D.", which doesn't seem like a name at all. The writing is clear, but perhaps a typo on Lanny's part?

I'd bet the back is a typo for "Thornton Garnett". A Calgarian by this name passed away last year. I have no idea if he was an artist.

Hi you might want to take a picture of the name under 64 on the right side that looks like it is signed by artist

Hi you might want to check this out

http://flames.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=454636 and click on Alumni: Lanny McDonald then fast forward the video clip until you get to 1.13 in the time frame(Blue Line).
This is the second in history that your picture was done from.

It seems to be Nelson MacDonald and this was given to Thorton Garnett. Now I am trying to find out who this Nelson MacDonald is. Any ideas???
