i have a oil painting of a country scenery a white fence and a tunnel signed penny very old?

Answer 1

There are several possibilities and very limited examples. It sounds like it could be Bruce Penny but that's just a guess without seeing the image... perhaps you can associate it with one of the following from the examples. I would recommend contacting or taking it to a reputable auction house for further verification and information like Christies or Bonhams. I hope that this may have helped!
