Old 9" x 12" water coloring. I'm trying to find any info on the artist or origins it signed Jesse in lower left corner. Appreciate any insight. Thanks!

Seems to me to say Jesus. Which is a very common Mexican name. I like this very much, hope you can find out who did it.
Found it. You have something very special.
Jesus Escobedo 1918-1978
Valentino, I tried, nothing turned up, sorry! :(
Wow is right Katherine..... I've had this on my wall for 25 years or so and have looked at the signature often and never considered it to be Jesus.... and I'm laughing to myself as I type because I lived in New Mexico for 8 years and knew a few Jesus's. Thank you so much for your effort as I truly love this watercolor and especially after living in the Southwest.
And thank you as well Valentino. I to thought it may have been painted for the tourist market but when seen in person it has a very special quality to it.
Thanks again and what a great forum this is!
Just looking at it I knew it was special, glad if I was able to help.
