I was able to find more information about the artist who gifted me one of his paintings.
He is Michael Banks and there are some interesting articles about him on the internet. He's a contemporary Outsider Artist represented by galleries and has pieces in the permanent collection of the Hurn Museum in Savannah, GA.

His act of kindness really touched my heart. Thank you Michael!
Wow, so it's probably a really valuable gift. Somehow that increases the kindness. He gave of himself, and he gave something he could have made money from. That's really sweet!
