Found this watercolor while searching yard sales. It has Caswell Fine Art, Somersville, CT 06072 on back. Looks like Youmatz for signature. Not antique but antique related. Any Value?

I had no luck with my search , But CT is not very far from me and I can tell you that Somersville is a Historic district in Tolland County, Connecticut beautiful area!! Try contacting The Connecticut Art Trail if anyone can help it will be them!!

I think I've found your artist.

Watercolor of the same school, by alumni Gloria B. Youmatz (photo 2)
I'm thinking the 'B' is either a typo or represents her maiden name.

Just relying on my standard recipe......
2L pepsi
2 chocolate bars (Mars of course)
1 pack of smokes (rolled preferably)
fistful (give or take) acetaminophen with codeine
Guaranteed to keep you running till you crash. ;)
Will definitely need that and more tomorrow.......have to drag my butt out of bed in the wee hours to haul my daughter to the airport and send her on her way home. :(
-
Nice work Sapph (standard recipe......) = I knew I liked you!! ;D
-
On that kind of diet...i,d end up looking like a Brick built shithouse...with no door.... ;D ;D...i,ve got a nice bottle of Red here and no frikken Pepsi....ah well, it,ll just have to be a single Malt...with some ice.... ;D ;D ;D
ps
watch how you drive....in the morning....
-
Good going Sapphire !!
-
Thanks sapphire! Evidently I need to change my diet... Did any one notice that the guy in the painting looks like he is relieving himself!!
-
Perhaps he's adding patina to an antique item ....
