The Old Mississippi House, Shaws Flat (Sonora) California

I found this original painting recently of the Mississippi House:

It's very nicely framed, but I was unable to find any information on the artist.
The signature appears to say "J. Canale".

I found some other images of it online; the postcard below gives a little bit of history about the place
I found this great photo with some information at malakoff.com:

Charles F. Surendorf , who had a gallery nearby in Columbia, painted it as well:

Another great old photo, here:

A good shot showing the old gas pumps:

When I found the Mississippi House painting, I also found this one:

I'm thinking that one may very well also be from a local site, but I have no way of knowing.

I love finding original paintings.
I actually sold the two you see below recently; they were in our booth at Mountain Treasures.
This pretty scene with deer at water's edge:

And this sweet little shed or barn:

And I'm always on the lookout for more of the same!
