<p>[QUOTE="Russell galloway, post: 355506, member: 7392"]This painting is one of my favorites and it is a vintage signed original with the raised 3D effect and the large 3ft x 4ft of tropical fish . There are numbers of similar tropical fish paintings by C.benolt online but there size very from 10inch x 12inch and all the way to 29x36 and lots of dolphin paintings with the same characteristics going for 60.00 to 1300.00 but nobody I have spoken to by phone or online can give me a educated guess of what mine is worth some say it's only worth 200.00 If I'm lucky because that's what a smaller different type of painting by him sold for so that's all mine could be possibly worth and others saying you need to find an expert on the subject because they flat out don't know . I have had horrible luck with free online appraisers doing no more research on the painting other than completed eBay listings and a few different Auction House Records .I understand that those methods of research are useful in determining a ballpark figure on some artists paintings but not a true appraisal and not always all that can be done to find out how much an item is worth[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
