Featured Ronal Parlin Painting

I am cleaning out my mom's basement and found a watercolor painting by Ronal Parlin. The name of the painting is "In A White World". Any idea if it has any value? I have seen a few paintings by him on line but have found no information on this painting. It is a painting of the Frank Farm in Farmington Maine as that is written on the back. Done in 1985.

 

Hi Jim!

Welcome to Antiquers.........

I can't help with value, but I really like the painting. I am partial to snow scenes.

 

No idea the value, but it's a lovely painting.

 

The artist does have a Facebook page if you're looking for information on your mother's painting.

He was born in 1956 and is still alive and working in Maine. I saw a few of his oils on liveauctioneers.com sell in the $3000-$4000. Like most artists working today, he's probably got a fair amount of unsold works, too.

There are a lot of factors that go into the value of an art piece. Your watercolor, while nicely done, will not command anywhere near the money for his oils.

For example, this one sold for $4000 USD (37 3/4" x 47 3/4").

Some other simpler oils sold in the $400 range...

Keep your piece out of direct sunlight. It's the enemy of watercolor...
