Thanks Steven! I am working on stealing that badge from you!  Wink

Oh and while I'm throwing around theories - I think there is a third artist involved.

I think the very colorful ones (that usually contain a purplish blue) are not painted by either YST or LQ. I don't have any ideas yet on who painted them, but from an artists perspective, they are not by the same hand.

I'm attaching a photo of what I think is a third artist.  

Differences are:
Vivid colors
Whispy clouds (never present in other YST paintings)
More detailed hands
More detail in general
Dotted grass in the landscapes
Pointed, often blue, mountains
Usually not signed

So another mystery to solve!
