It's OK , has charm but I sure wouldn't pay 40 grand for some Cezanne ish post - post impressionist post cubist slightly Soutine euro/ west U.S. school work.
Someone really paid you 40 grand ? !
WOW - you did good with that one.

I could do that type stuff in my sleep. And wouldn't need the #'s.

Tabby...better believe JCF here...he IS an artist. Your "painting?" Well, I'd rather have a centerfold from a 1961 Playboy hanging on my wall...

That's nothin'. Now THESE are absolute masterpieces (and yes, I've visited, it's an actual place about 10 miles from where my parents live):

BTW "Sunday on the Pot with George" is my fave.

Paul;

You're right. You don't have to be an artist to appreciate this one - but the pose is quoted directly from Velasquez.

Look quick

Used to be that you could find great art pieces in L.A. at estate sales. Now the whole estate sale thing is a network.
