I see so many art collections at flea markets. Most belong there. But, then there are others that are actually very good. I feel bad for these artists that should be known, and are so unknown, that most of their art is thrown on the ground to be picked through by people who want it for a dollar, so they can sell it for two. Today I found a person selling a beautiful collection of art that I had to leave most because I didn't have enough to buy them. These were my three favorites. This one I found at an antique store for $20. They sold it as a print. When I removed it from the frame to clean the glass, it's an original watercolor by Al Narizzano. This is gorgeous. I was happy with it being a print. I'm thrilled it's original. The really sad part is, his work is great, and people can't give it away on ebay. It makes me wonder why some artists who have very little talent are known the world round, and others who do beautiful work are stuck in flea markets and thrift stores.
That seems to be everyone's favorite. It's the first one I saw. I have a thing for the moon. I've been a night owl for over 60 years.
without the internet Justin beeper would be doing the Sweet Sixteen circuit !!!! maybe you could promote artists you find worthy??
I find these artists usually after they've died. Though Naoto Hattori is still rocking. His work is AMAZING. I don't own this, I wish I did. It's 3" x 4" This is Ed Binkley, he works in pencils. I only own prints of his. I have a special edition of this one -
When my dad was in the hospital in Fla and I was here in NY, I would look out my window and see the moon and think, he is seeing the moon as well
