I have a painting and would like to find someone who might identify the painting or the artist, Can someone help?

You might try starting with some information about the painting or at the least, a image.

Smithsonian help site: Researching your artamericanart.si.edu/research/tools/art/ edu/research/tools/art.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
