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
