Name the painting

Perhaps the game can take a turn in the future to more known artists, so that more people can participate?

Gilliatt - you are pretty close. It is very close to Kings Canyon (same state/general area)

And it is a famous Indigenous Australian artist - who lived in the MacDonnell Ranges and mostly focused on watercolours... hope that helps.

Another of his paintings:

Here it goes:
Sorry I must edit it to remove the signature.

Brian let me disagree with you regarding nationalism. Posting works of artists from our countries makes this game challenging. On the other hand it is a chance to introduce artists from our countries to other people. I think there is nothing wrong with advertise great artists who are groundlessly forgotten or ignored.
Is it nationalism being Russian and posting Hungarian artist's works :-) ?

Olga, please don't think I am against nationalism in respect of paintings, I also have posted some British artists on this thread, but if the picture is extremely difficult to trace, people may lose interest in posting other pictures.
I normally try to post something that could be difficult but not so hard that it is virtually impossible to trace.

That view of Venice is so often painted that I imagine artists jostleing each other on foggy atmospheric mornings

I know nothing about painting, but I can participate easily. The game for me is to try and discribe the picture in no more than four words, so that Google can find it. For instance the last one, I recognised it as Venice and an Impressionist work, so the words "Impressionist Venice" soon found it. A kind of game within a game and an interesting excercise.

Here is the next one.

Prendrelemick this picture looks so familiar that it hurts but I can't remember anything in particular. Will you help us posting more pictures from your mystery artist?

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

I will second that motion.

There appears to be an upper case "M" in the signature, so I spent some time researching artists signatures, but no luck.

Well Gilliatt, I don't think it's Michaelangelo.

[prendrelemick]

My computer is playing up, and will not let me post another picture at the moment.

So the clue is:- You're right Brian, its not Michaelangelo!

Through the magic of System Restore, here's another, a bit less abstract.
