I purchased a painting by J.Medina at an estate sale, priced at @ $75.00. i paid $20.00. It features a tree and a reflecting pond, a mountain in the background and another large pond in the center.
Since I can find no biographical information or artistic history of J.Media, I have come to the conclusion that this is a "cover" name and signature used to identify mass and formula produced paintings made in Mexico and perhaps elsewhere.   The signature is included to manufacture the illusion of authenticity.
I like the picture, and if anyone has any other thoughts or information, I am all ears and eyes.
