<p>[QUOTE="Armando0831, post: 28940, member: 305"][ATTACH=full]7181[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]7182[/ATTACH] My wife and I stopped at a local small ma and pa thrift store here in Oklahoma. I was looking at their art prints and noticed a painting tucked behind a bunch of junk. I seen that it had ducks in the painting. I maneuvered the junk around to get to the painting. I realized it was a original oilpainting. I could make out the last name of Basset but didn't know the first. I did a quick search on my phone for "Bassett Duck Paintings". To my surprise, the first listing showed a painting by Reveau. I then knew that was the first name I couldn't make out. He was an artist from Texas, very well acclaimed artist at that. A painting from him was sold at Christies. This painting was only $6!! The listing had a painting from him that was sold at auction for $1,250. I couldn't get the money out of my pocket any faster. I hate that I got it at such a steal, but my thinking is, if you're selling it, do a little research.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just seen where a 10 x 8 painting from Reveau sold for nearly $6k in 2006.
