two paintings from #3 Ajumma

I was sent these two paintings via text message from my #3 Ajumma:


I just texted Ajumma to ask her about the signature at the bottom-right corner of the second painting.  It looks to be in Russian, which isn't Ajumma's normal style.  (Compare the first painting, which has the standard "2020 Kang" signature on it.)  Was the second painting even done by her?  The style seems a bit different—a bit more ethereal—if you look at the lighting.  I haven't received a response from Ajumma about what's going on, but I'll leave an update here once I find out.  Stay tuned.

UPDATE:  Ajumma says the second painting was originally by someone else, but she was asked to paint a reproduction of it.  Is she becoming an art forger?

    Interesting. I noticed the difference in style immediately and I know less than nothing about art. Having said that, the first painting is really impressive. Beautiful work!
