[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 943655, member: 8184"]I am surprised it says nothing about Mexico, but it seems to fall into a category of pieces that do come from Mexico (at the very least use frames made in Mexico). I even wonder if there is a stamp under the tape. The pieces I've seen are either on board (like yours) or sloppily stapled canvas. The frames all have nearly identical construction (like what I can see of yours). Frames with linen liners are common. And the paintings are all of a single vase of flowers with at least some thick application of paint (such as the white flowers in yours). I suspect there was (is?) a home decor factory either in Mexico or using Mexican frames. And that the person that painted these flowers worked at a piece rate. If you check ebay for sold listings ("Robert Cox paintings" is a good search), you will find these usually sell in the $25-$50 price range. Occasionally, one will break the $100 mark.[/QUOTE]
