I just purchased this painting at a 2nd hand store. It is oil paint and I believe the signature reads W. Mirkin. I am hoping to find out more about this artist.

beautiful colors! interesting painting.
I have two similar paintings one has the same signature, mine were purchased in Florida, where did you find yours? http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/215308-w-mirkin-paintings
Hi KatyRed,
Mine was purchased in Tampa Florida.
We purchased both of ours from road side art sales in Pinellas county, we purchased the larger one and a few years we stopped and found the ladies. The person running the sale said that the paintings came from a local art school.
I lived in Pinellas for years. I bought this right across the bridge in Hillsborough, so it would make sense that they came from a local art school. Mine is a reproduction of a famous Oleg Zhivetin painting from what I can tell. Do you recognize a famous artwork that yours may have copied? I put a link to the painting I think mine was meant to replicate.

Actually I just looked at yours, they are knock offs of the same artist! My dad has an Oleg original of the three holding the heart in his living room.
Wow!! I checked out his work and feel like I might need to trade up to an original! Lol I love his style. Thank you so much for this information, my paintings are no longer a mystery.
