I have been a little out of touch.... There was a deal where a couple of this guys LA Cityscapes done in the mid 50s were going to into LACMA..... but are being offered for sale insead.

Why thats thats.....6153.8461% on your money....

okay Tab's,
I ask...
your painting,your 650 ?
otherwise ..you also missed out.

You might want to ditch the "Aaron Bros." frame..

Why now U got me there, maybe I should have bought 2 of them and a 3rd smaller one...now that would have been something then...now wouldn't it.

OHHH my gosh that is just terrible...with 2 of them its only 3555.55% return on the money....

Your exuberance will be better grounded after the check clears.

why would I want to do that it would hurt the % of return.....

U should know me by now, reality has never stopped me before, so why should it now?

Looks Photoshopped onto the wall. Or you need a few lessons on how to hang art. ;)

So thats what they call it now adays, it used to be called doctoring the photograph.

Uh, dude..

thats a paint by numbers. My dad did that one back in 1974

Funny U should say that my Daddy was part of the Startup of the Paint by Numbers company by the inventor. Daddy was responsible for the mfg of the paint.

Anyway now U found my secret out....

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

Dam, now you know about the dumpster I've been diving in....

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.

Well well...Mother is an artist tooooo...that doesn't mean she is any gddamed good. and I would rather have a 2007 Playboy Centerfold in my Bed..fk the picture on the wall.

NOW you're talkin'...I don't know much about art, but....

OHHHH U BET TOYOTA....ABELS ABELS ABELS.....Auctions off of Garfield in the City of Commerce..they used to get killer stuff every week.


U can still find jems in the rough if you look hard enough, like a Rex Brandt Oil on Board for $150.00. Why..because the ding dongs couldn't read the signature... and only thought of him as a W/Cist....Now if they were familar with the style, pallet and the technical way that he liked to construct his paintings you woulda known.....

Now get this..I told the sellers that I thought it was a Rex Brandt...they said, "Well thats not how he signed his signature." I replied, "yeah but all you have ever compared it to is his signature on W/Cs, which was done in pencil. this was done in paint." Because the signatures on his W/Cs were done in pencil it appears very near & legible the signature on this painting done in paint looks mushed. However if you look at the shack in the painting, do you notice the word "REX" staring you in the face?

Besides being on my wall, I know I've seen this image before. I just can't temember where? I think in a catalog of Brandts work, that I have been trying to find in one of my boxes.

Tabs, is that your W/C of the boathouse and dock? Good composition, will look great on the wall. How about your 'Plein Aire" interest, has that made some $$ ?

Craig that is an Oil on Board and not a W/C.. however Brandt primarily worked as a W/C artist so that is why you would think of it as a W/C.

Yes it belongs to me...I have yet to cash in and

The last thing I sold I made 15% on my money in about 2 weeks..
