<p>[QUOTE="spartcom5, post: 334097, member: 5213"]Finally found my first painting worth anything at a thrift store for $8. It is a beautiful Chen Mau oil painting. I find it so interesting that he incorporates horse hair into the painting. Of course not ALL is great. The painting has started to crack somewhat, there is a stain of some kind on it, looks like it would come off easily if someone knew what to do though. So now I am stumped, I love it for myself, but would like to get it fixed so it doesn't get ruined further. Chens paintings sell for quite a bit but those are big painting whereas mine is smaller. So what would you guys do? I am planning on bringing it to a well known auction house who deals in fine arts and maybe they could point me in the right direction. Meanwhile however, should I put it in a bag to keep it from getting dusty?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]111938[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]111939[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]111940[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]111941[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]111942[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
