<p>[QUOTE="artistry, post: 104, member: 14"]I am a collector of art work that holds my interest. I am a painter of oil abstracts, and I draw pencil portraits. But I tend to like many different types of art. I am drawn to etchings. I once found an etching that was dated in the 1800's, behind a couch in an antique shop. I was able to purchase it. Another time, I was at a farmer's market when I spotted this colorful smaller picture, signed Picasso at the top, I actually thought it was a phony piece. So I asked what the seller wanted for it and he was very reasonable. I took it home and removed it from the frame, it was on a very good mat, which had my heart racing a bit, as I thought I had found a treasure or something. I took it for an appraisal. The gentleman said it was not worth what I might have thought, but it was worth a goodly sum based on the price I paid for it. So I was very happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
