A striking mid century painting found in my local Thrift shop. Depicting a man on a horse, looking upwards to the sky. Beautiful hues of blue, greens with expressive brush technique.
Can anyone read the signature?

I HAIMHONEY? Something like that...
Dimensions? On canvas, art board, etc.? An image of the back might provide some clues about age, origins, etc.
Interesting painting. Looks like a combination of brush and palette knife work.
CHAIM HONEY? Something like that...
Thank you for all your suggestions
Your painting is an interpretation of a painting by Georges Rouault depicting Joan of Arc. He painted this work in 1948-1949. As far as I know, it is privately owned.

MP……thank you!
Thank you Mystery Solved!!! Excellent
I think that mp.kunst is saying that this is a copy, or after, another painting, which he identifies, but that does not identify who the artist was who made this copy, so that mystery is not solved.
kwqd, Yup, I see what you see with the signature reading "CHAIM" somebody-or-other.
What else is interesting to me is that this 1stdibs print of Rouault's Jeanne D'Arc is faced the other way:

Here's one faced the same way as the one in this post:

Here's another facing the same way on a book about Rouault by Giuseppe Marchiori:

Another Rouault Jeanne D'Arc:

It looks like Rouault painted Jeanne D'Arc more than once, huh?
However, none of this deciphers the signature on the painting in this post.
Nice work, keramikos!
kwqd, Hey, I was just following mp-kunst's lead so that I might see the original.
Like you, I was trying to decipher that name on the painting in this post, to no avail.
Chaim, honey, wherefore art thou? };-)
The position of the "Y" is weird. I tried some other variations without the "Y" and still nothing.
