Old 1959 Expressionist Impressionist Landscape Oil Painting Trees Artist Signed

This is a nice, original, artist-signed, hand-painted oil painting of a landscape with trees (see photos). The painting is painted on a Masonite-type wood board panel. The painting is painted in an Expressionist Impressionist style. The painting is the work of a talented artist. The painting is signed illegibly by the artist: it looks to be signed, L A Gause 59 ?? (see photos and determine the artist and the signature). The painting is not framed. The painting measures about 24 inches high, and it measures about 32 inches wide. The painting is vintage (65+ years old). The item is from an estate liquidation. The painting has some loss to the Masonite-type board, a bend to one corner edge, some paint losses, and some wear (see photos and/or written description for the condition of this item).
