<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 315183, member: 23"]All this depends on what country you are in and what those types of paintings sell for in that country. From your postings, it would appear that you are not in the USA. Prices and interests vary from place to place, even within this country. What someone on the east coast would buy, wouldn't necessarily appeal to someone in California and vice-versa. If you don't have the expertise, you probably should not be buying paintings. I have been around antiques since I was 8 years old helping my parents in their second hand store and doing flea markets. I am willing to admit that the more I learn, the more I realize I don't know. If you want to get into the portrait business, you need to go to museums, art galleries and antique stores that sell paintings and learn about technique, paint, canvas, etc. You can't post a bunch of pictures online and expect people looking at them on a computer to give you expert advice. It's impossible. We'd really like to help, but we can't give you the answers you are looking for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
