Explain what we are looking at,,painting looks off kilter !!  Style is pretty common and is used by many "quick style" artists !! Exp. use of the fan brush for trees !!   Try a bit closer pic of that signature !!

Did you find this painting in the Midwest? Reason I ask is that there was a "speed painter" that would set up at malls, etc. demonstrating his skill with this style of art. I've been trying to remember his name...it was something like "Overbeck"?
Good Luck!

Rauville- Yes! I am from MN. When I purchased this mirror painting the person selling it to me told me she used to have all the four seasons but that they all went to four different homes (including me) and I was bummed! I would of picked up all four had they been there. I am trying to look up the artist so I can see the rest of their work (including the other seasons).

Thank you so much for your reply.

When I looked at this earlier I had written Overbrook or H. Overbrook more correctly but looking again I think it is Overbeck !!  Try H. Overbeck and see what you can find !!

There is an H. Overbeck painter, but I believe it's a different one:
