Good afternoon. I have this oil painting that I have had for years. I bought it at a flea market type store. Can anyone help with id on this? I am not looking to sell it. I am just curious. The signature is hard to make out. Does anyone recognize the artist's work? I have no idea as to the age of the painting either. Thanks in advance. gina

I like your painting! I'm a sucker for a good old fashioned floral still life.
1960s?
Could we see the back and hear the dimensions of the frame and the canvas please.

Maybe a Dutch artist? Something like Jor. van Zijke (just a guess).

Thank you so much for your help! The frame the painting is in measures 38" x 26". There are no marks or anything on the back. I looked up Dutch painters---there are so many. I do believe the signature is Jos (Johannes) van Dijk. This painter was born in 1913 & died in 2000. I think this painting is probably worth much more than I imagined. I just bought it because I think it is beautiful.
