Description I found this painting at a thrift store today, and I'm wondering if its worth anything. It's a still life oil painting of a bouquet of flowers, painted on canvas with an ornate gold frame. The bottom left is signed "D. Barton". There is a sticker on the back that says "Collectors Corner, Inc." and "Certificate of Authenticity". There is also a number "003667-B(or 13, its hard to tell)309.

I found three on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Oil-Painting-On-Canvas-Still-Life-Flowers-Artist-D-Barton-20-X-24-/133291959512 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-D-Barton-Framed-Floral-Bouquet-Still-Life-Oil-Painting-18-x-22-/264256301042 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Oil-painting-Still-life-Flowers-D-BARTON-590mm-x-485mm-22-2-x-19-/202647687010 So that gives you an idea of what they’re being sold for. This article http://creativedazewithgeri.blogspot.com/2011/12/collectors-corner-inc-certificate-of.html will tell you about the sticker on the back and the paintings this company sold. There’s a link on that page to a Yahoo answer that’s also interesting. It looks like these were mass produced paintings and probably not worth the eBay prices in the links I’ve posted.

That is interesting--I thought for sure it was an original because of the canvas and texture. What a crazy amount of effort. I think they must be mass produced because all of the signatures are the same name, but written differently. Thanks for your research!

It's probably a digital Giclee print of an original, they use a special printer that makes copies right down the the detail of shading and brush strokes. https://cedarhilllonghouse.ca/what-is-the-difference-between-a-serigraph-and-a-giclee/
