BERMAINE OR GERMAINE/ NEED HELP IDENTIFYING ARTIST

[thegr8escape1973]

Hi folks,

Found this piece of art stuck between the walls of my house when I was remodeling. It is of a waterwheel signed, numbered and dated by either Bermaine or Germaine.. It is hard to tell but the year is clear 1977 and numbered 16 of 200. Please see picture below

Hi gr8,

I have a teenie weeny experience in proofing notes; figuring out what scribblings in letters from Nigeria, Botswanna, Costa Rica, etc., meant; typing in wordprocessing pools to decipher author's scribblings and more and more. Let me see and take an educated guess.

According to the English/American way of writing "B" is stroked down for the stem, then the top curve stroke starts from the left toward the right. Likewise for the bottom curved stroke.

The usual direction for the "G" is starting right to left curving down looping under to go toward right then loop up toward left and just free fall that stroke on down.

Germaine. "G". Let me know if this is helpful to you.
