Great site!
Looks like the walls in my house! I usually pay for my stuff, though not very much. In addition to fishing stuff out of junk stores, I believe in supporting local "Artists." Anyone with enough nerve to try to make a buck like that deserves my money. Usually, for much less than the cost of a "Limited Edition" print by one of the Name Brand artists, you can keep some kid in Paints, Canvas and Peanut Butter for a couple of weeks. And get an original painting by a real person. Like this...
Mr. Kinkade, on the other hand, well I wish him the best. I've seen some of his pre-"Painter o' Light" stuff. He's not bad. But then I buy art from junk stores and off sidewalks at art fairs, what do I know.
I got a signed Miro print at a Church art sale for $2.00.Its value is around $500 to $1000.
In the '60s Sears hired Vincent Price to be an art expert for its stores. He selected some good contemporary art and it was reasonably affordable..I saw the Sears label on the back and took a chance. Sure enough it was original
My goodness, such vitriol. What's with the bashing?
And for the record, I happen to like Thomas Kinkaide's art.
