    I came across a couple of watercolours in a shop last Saturday (photos 1 and 2). The asking price is £40 each. A bit steep but they are really nice. The artist is really proficient and they have a nice warm glow to them. I was tempted but I resisted. I can't really find anything about the artist online and would like a bit of reassurance that they're actually worth that much before I splash. I went back in today and they are still there. I spoke to the shop assistant and said I might consider paying £30 each. She said she might if they are still there next week. The only reference to a ping chun is on find art info. One listing which is an oil. There is also a wee Chun ping but different siggy. Strangely enough I was looking through the piles of paintings that I've hoarded over the years last night and found the this (third photo). I never could ID the signature but last night it was plain and clear.

    i'd pass dude, too expensive for what they are, doubt you'll find the artist, and they seem a bit general/touristy if you ask me

    That's the amazing thing about Art-there really are no absolute empirical tests about what's good/bad. Science has some agreed upon parameters-but with Art,if it speaks to you it works in your life.
    PS-'Science has some agreed upon parameters'-until the next scientists disprove it via peer review.Different process of course from religious faith/belief.
