I picked this up today for $12. I figured the framed was worth that. Native American themed still life by C. (Charles) Benolt. It's done in impasto style. I thought it was maybe a mass produced enhanced print at first, because I saw a few almost identical paintings online then I noticed they all had minor differences. The painting itself measures 24 x 20.

Not worth a whole bunch, but still 10X to 15X what I paid for it.

He seems to have been a prolific artist. Funny, can't find any real information on him. Everything I read about him is conjecture.
