<p>[QUOTE="Armando0831, post: 26400, member: 305"][ATTACH=full]6576[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]6577[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]6578[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]6579[/ATTACH] Hope you all aren't getting tired of trying to guess these names. This one, I hold close to me. It's the first and only painting that I've went out on a limb and spent more than what an average person would of paid for it. I had bought alot of things from this store owner and had never seen this painting. They had rearranged their store, and while doing so, the realized this painting had no price on it. I had caught this painting from the corner of my eye and was instantly hypnotized. I was drawn to it by some strange force, I loved it. I turned it around to look for the price tag, there was none. I asked the store owner what it was worth and he said that the guy who had consigned it had passed away and there for, he wasn't able to price it. The store owner wanted to do some research on it before deciding to sell it.He couldn't come up with anything, due to the signature. He did mention that the previous owner of the painting had traveled internationally and was very executive. He showed me a porcelain figure from China that is VERY old and said that the guy who had the painting, had received the porcelain figure from a Chinese government official.</p><p><br /></p><p>My wife almost kicked my butt when I told her I paid $700 for this painting. Go big or go home! Anyways, I BIG chance on something maybe not worth that. To me, I felt it was worth every penny.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>About the painting: I can't make out the signature.
