Thank you
Benson,
Thank you for the information. I had noticed traces of a dark brown color, actually I thought it might be a maroon shade. I had assumed this was a second painting on top of the more typical green, which there are also traces of. This clears up the sequence of the colors though.
Thanks again for the prompt reply and helpful information!

Bruce
