The painting is an oil original and the condition is very good. My husband's friend gave him in 2006. The painter is Kit Monroe (There is name and phone number on the back).

Dear Yoko,

Sadly no additional information for an artist with this name fitting in style and motif is given by reference books and databases.
Comparable objects were recently not offered or sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 1.000 to 2.000 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Gregory
