Heh.. wait until Antique Road Show rolls into town... Then beat the crap out of everyone to get to the front of the line.
 
For one, his name is probably Leo Jansen, so that may be why you can't find anything.

Read the replies here and you'll get some information. Also you can ask your question on that board. They seem knowledgeable.
 
Here are a couple more of his paintings on ebay.

There might be more if you speak Dutch, which I don't. Here's a second vote for stalking the antique roadshow people.
