Re: Seascape oil painting

Thanks for your contact. How uncanny! Does yours have a clearer signature or any more details to identify the artist?

What's the story behind your painting?

Cheers

Re: Seascape oil painting

If your painting matches the other, than it's pretty much as I've mentioned earlier.The majority of paintings of this type are generic " Starving Artist" pieces sold at traveling art sales held in hotel conference rooms.

These paintings are done up as multiples, the artist filling an order for an art wholesaler, while not mass produced in the modern sense, they are made for market demand for that type of image. In the resale market most sell for under a couple of hundred dollars

Re: Seascape oil painting

The appraisal of paintings via images it a futile adventure, some items such as oil paintings really require a physical examination to determine just what they are. That being said, the majority of paintings of this type are generic " Starving Artist" pieces sold at traveling art sales held in hotel conference rooms. In the resale market most sell for under a couple of hundred dollars
