Art Mystery, Part 4 - Signatures and Soup Cans!
By Colleen Messina 		  
1     Shelly and Brian looked confused when Gustav told them that the first name of the artist was Claude. Ms. Brush and Great-aunt Rayna looked triumphant. Their secret hope was that Claude was the artist's first name! That is exactly what they had been whispering about all day.
 
2     "Are you going to finish uncovering the signature today?" asked Shelly at last. She could hardly wait to learn who had painted her great-aunt's mystery painting. This visit to Aunt Rayna had turned out to be much more exciting than she had ever thought it would!
 
3     "Yes," said Gustav, "I will go right back to work." And he left the room.
 
4     "Children, let's go over the clues that we have so far," said Ms. Brush. "Tell me everything you have figured out about your aunt's mystery painting."
 
5     "Well, we know it is not an abstract painting. It is not a Picasso!" Shelly said.
 
6     "Our painting had flowers in it," said Brian.
 
7     "My father lived in Paris once," said Aunt Rayna, "but we don't know if that is important. The artist's first name was Claude. The artist was not a post-impressionist, either."
 
8     "Let's quickly go through a couple of other rooms. We don't have much time!" said Ms. Brush.
 
9     They went to the next room. The walls were deep green, and a large Oriental rug covered the floor. The rug had swirling patterns of peacocks on it. The chandelier sent rainbows of light across the ceiling. "Now this is art!" exclaimed Shelly. "That lady looks amazingly real!"
