    Hi friends,

    I paid $50 on this from a Goodwill store then stuck it in storage. It's big--I think 36 x 40.

    I got sucked in because it had an older tag of $2100 on the back.

    The artist does not appear to be listed, but I did find similar paintings by him or her on these sites:

    https://www.chathamart.com/fine-art/all-paintings/paintings-by-artist/category/470-janesco. Not sure of $$

    https://www.dumoart.com/?utm_source=mutualart&utm_medium=referral
    $175 price there


    I'm wondering what some friends in here think of my painting or if some of you have access to any other auction sales or estimates for this artist. Thanks!

    What a pretty picture ! A shame to have it tucked away.

    Those flowers are overwhelming the table. :eek: Not a big fan of the composition, but to each their own.

    The flowers/vase are radically large for the table.Not a bad painter.Some of the original art on Ebay & LiveAuctioneers is quite good & (to my mind) cheap.
    After watching too many episodes of the BBC show 'Faked or Fortune' I'm spending way too much time online looking for million dollar masterpieces for fifty bucks.
    PS-Keeps me out of the tavern & saves gas,plus I'm not ignoring my sweetie 20-30 hours a week picking.

    What? You all don't eat your peaches with your face in a flower bush?

    I like the light and the texture. They did a good job on the table cloth and chair...that coffee mug though. It's pretty massive. :D

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    One of my brothers uses coffee mugs that are almost that size. :)

    Well thanks all for the comments, especially the humorous ones.
    FYI, I contacted one of the auction houses that had sold a similar painting by the same artist, and they were transparent in a return email that they didn't fetch much for it and just aren't interested in auctioning anything similar.

    What does the back look like? I can't help feeling it's like some factory art.

    (I have some factory art so not meaning disrespect)

    Maybe the point of it is that it's a child's table. So, it's symbolic, as is.
