Hi!...This is a Thrift miss....meaning I didn't by it....its a painting by Heino Tripmaker of South Africa, he is a artist who also studied in Europe....(via the info on the back of the painting).....the name of the painting is "Flower Market"....this painting was approx. 24in x 30in ....I don't know anything much about Art...although I did like the picture... this particular Thrift store can sometimes have extremely high prices on certain items...and for this painting they were asking a cool $300.....of which I thought was absolutely crazy....I didn't want to get taken ....so I took a couple of pics and moved on.....but....I do want to know if I missed out...so if anyone knows of this paintings value please share.....your input will be greatly appreciated.......
I'd have nightmares if I paid $300 for this painting. That being said it's probably a reasonable retail price imo - certainly no bargain. I can't make out much on your photo of the labels - does it say where the flower market is located?
From his wikipedia.org entry, it appears he was a decorative painter. A label that reads "Original Oil Painting" is a red flag. (This is from another of his works as the labels in your photograph can't be read.) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heino_D._Tripmacker Debora
Here's a similar work of his with an on-line appraisal. The thrift shop price falls within the estimated value. https://mearto.com/items/flower-market-by-tripmaker Debora
