It is different from the technique of the Maxfield Parrish. Parrish is the author of his own painting technique, which consisted in the use of four primary colors: blue, lilac, yellow and black. By a combination of these colors, he achieved the desired shade, and by separating the layers with varnish - the volumetric image. One of the shades of blue is named after Parrish - Parrish blue. Look at his work www.atlasofplaces.com/.../, these are from 1941 theboxsf.com/.../00-512, www.wikiart.org/.../at-close-of-day-1941

I agree with erinleestewart that someone tried to emulate him. And as far as I know Maxfield Parrish did not use such signature. I could not find any paintings with such signature. Therefore, the price of this painting can only be determined by evaluating the artist's technique. You need to show this painting to a painting specialist.

My wild guess is that this is an amateur (but talented!) painter's attempt to emulate the wildly popular Maxwell Parrish, who painted such pastoral idyllic scenes, but were disappointed with the result. In a moment of self-deprecating humor they named their work "The Art Parrishes" as a play on words.

I think it's *wonderful* and would treasure such an unusual find that reveals a glimpse inside the artist's mind. Also, 1941 is of course a significant year in U.S. history for the bombing or Pearl Harbor. Thank you for sharing!

I don't believe it is worth very much...but it's a nice painting to enjoy.

Difficult to really tell very much about a painting just from looking at a picture.
Is it 'painted' on canvas? Paper print?
Size?
I believe it was probably an artist trying to capture the artwork of Maxwell Parrish as he was very popular for many years before his death in 1966.
