The family of Mr. Trover would like to let people know that there are some of his paintings out there that have been fraudulently signed by another artist. The family has possession of a Trover landscape in which the fraud even added a small fence to the scene, and then signed his name to the painting. Anyone who knows Mr. Trover's work can spot one of these right away.
