<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 4476398, member: 1476"]I wasn't familiar with Ben Richmond but, from a quick internet search, it seems he was similar to Thomas Kincaide, a painter who produced not fine art but decorative paintings for a wider audience. (He even called himself "Keeper of Light" while Thomas Kinkade called himself "Painter of Light.") He seems to have been active in the 1980s-2000s. Like Kinkade, Richmond's business model was to produce a limited number of original work and sell quantities of multiples. That's why you'll see more of his prints on offer than oil paintings. I would think the market isn't very strong as he's no longer active and was a regional painter when he was but I could be wrong. You can check on-line resources (eBay, etc.) for offerings of his oils although you'll want to disregard asking prices which may well be inflated and focus on sold prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
