<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 114734, member: 37"]Some final comments on these two and I will post a new pair in a bit. As I said above, I chose these two at least in part due to the fact that I felt some people would not like them. The other reason I chose them is that they were both modern still-life paintings with differing techniques. </p><p><br /></p><p>Painting A is signed <i>T. Denver</i> and, based on others with this exact signature, I have come to the conclusion that it is a factory painting. It does not have too much age to it. It was purchased at the thrift store for a few dollars. I put it in a simple black frame and sold it for around $25.00 in my store after having it sit for quite awhile. </p><p><br /></p><p>Painting B is signed <i>V. Wheeler</i> and titled <i>Feast</i>. I was never able to attribute it. It likely dates to the 50s or 60s based on the board and the framing. I sold this in my store very quickly for around $150.00. I believe it went to an out of town dealer. </p><p><br /></p><p>I purchased it and another painting by the same artist for $10.00 each from the thrift store. I think the second painting to be stronger in execution, if not in subject and composition. I have not been able to sell it for under $100.00 in both my store and on ebay. I have not tried for a couple years and still have it. Here it is for comparison.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]28818[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
