Please Help Identifying Artist

Greetings! We just acquired the painting below, and would greatly appreciate any help identifying the artist.

I'm seeing "Golden Days" (perhaps a title vs a name).

The first letter of the signature is not captured in your close up (Photo #2).  What is it?

Ditto.

I cannot tell from the photo, so will ask:  Is it matted?  If so, have you removed it from the mat to look for a signature or more info?

I see a signature (I think) in pinkish block letters below the cows.  But the first letter is cut off in the close up.

Can you get a close up like you did for the "golden days"?   The upside down letters on the verso are BEK RIVES - the paper mark.  Do you have a print and not a painting?

It is a 100% a painting on paper.
