I have 2 brush paintings on silk, each of a single horse, very much in the style of Xu Beihong - but not his signature that I can tell. Also, a third by a different artist - pen/ink/watercolour of an owl, on paper. Could anyone tell me who the artists were? Photo of the signatures from all 3 are attached - the first 2 are the same artist, but as with any signature, they are slightly different. Any help would be much appreciated!

first picture is signed Ren Boqu, confirmed by the seal's "Boqu", not sure of the second, which strikes me as Japanese. care to post photos of the overall works?

Thank you very much for the reply - much appreciated. Apologies for the delay responding - had a spot of bother with the internet connection! I'm posting the (nearly) full paintings as suggested. Someone did suggest to me a while ago that the symbols on the Owl painting read 'China'? Not sure if this is right or not though. Any further info would be great. Thank you again!

Very nice painting & would like very like worth much in value.

Thank you, Mark! I like it too - though have no idea of its value ...

no problem. The inscription on the owl painting doesn't read "china" but is the Japanese artist's name. unfortunately I am not any closer to figuring out what it reads, but the painting is Japanese rather than Chinese.

Good to know it's definitely Japanese - and thanks for taking the time to educate me! Maybe one day I'll come across the artist - one has to live in hope :)
