Thank you so much for helping me :) I"ve tried to do research on the artists but I just get frustrated - I wish I knew someone who can read chiense-
We have taken many things to our fav little Chinese restaurant for translation...lol... They are usually eager to help.

some big auction house is interested in this scroll- but they ask about the porvenance- how can I know anything about that when i don't even know who the artist is or what the seal means- I wonder if auction houses do that provenance thing for you....
goodwill - thats where i got it - they donate stuff to goodwill and do not keep records of who donates :(
Thank so much !!!!!!!!!!:))) yes of course i will let ya'l know -
when I sent the pictures - i guess they mustve know n something because they wanted me to just send more of the inscriptions..... That would bo so cool if it was worth something - not because of the money but because of how many times i am told i just buy junk..... that auction house starts with a C and ends with NY- there is so much I can't say on here i guess .. are you on facebook ?
later tonight after supper I am gonna post another scroll - it really looks like one of them Qui Biashi ones however it is spelled ..
I am out of town i will post other pictures when i get back ..
I took more pictures of the inscription that the austion house requested and sent it to them- it has been 3 days now in review- so hopefully I will hear something soon
