Hi,
I also have a nice print signed and numbered by the same artist. I believe it is Beth Jo Cummings, here is an old listing with information about her. She passed away in September, 1992 of Breast Cancer.
Beth Cummings Award winning Folk Artist, Beth Cummings is one of America's most respected artists. The tremendous demand for Beth"s work forced fer to issue limitededtion prints of her oils. Self taught, she has mastered a folk art technique that has brought her much acclaim. American Primitive painting, for a long time ignored by critics, is now being recognized as one of our great artistic traditions. "Primitive" is a term used to describe the self taught artist- the Folk Artist. Herart is a joyous testament to the creativity in every generation of Americans. Beth's work takes us back to a happier time when life was much more simpler. Our past has been softened by time and mellowed by memories and dreams. Her work reminds us that t was a time to work, a time to rest and a to play. Beth, her husband Fred, and two sons live in the Delta near Yazoo City, Mississippi. Beth and Fred offer a complete program consisting of original oils. limited edtion prints, and professional matting and framing that delight galleries and art collectors alike.
Hope that helps,

P.S. I pretty much registered just to answer your question, but my wife has talked about us getting chickens and noticed that you are in Jacksonville, we lived there for 23 years. (In Delaware now.)
