Acrylic on canvas with permission from photographer Russell Brown. The Bald Range fire is still burning out of control at the time of this post

I have to post this on my work's website and I want to honour the artists - always. But the buyer does not care and it drives me nuts that the manufacturers don't provide this information to us.

All the info I have on it is a product name "Desert Days" and that's it. I can't read the signature too well either. It looks like either a K or a J next to an S with a y in the middle somewhere. I've tried looking for exact images of this on Google and found only visual matches, and the AI system is aso bad at trying to identify text in calligraphy and has given me a dozen different answers on what the signature reads.

Can anyone help me identify this piece of artwork?

Oil painting of a river scene, which I believe is in the Laurentians. Could be an amateur painter as I can’t find anything else relevant by the name Bissonnette. If anyone knows anything please let me know, thanks!

A stand of white birch with the whole understory going up behind them. I work in latex-acrylic with straight and angled brushes rather than a knife, so it goes down as flat decisive shapes — up close it's marks, step back and it's woods. Autumn in the Alberta foothills lasts about two weeks, which is why I wanted one at this size.
