<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 39483, member: 51&quot;]The back of the canvas, the first thing I thought was: middle school or high school. The little curly-q &quot;5&quot; on the taped &quot;235&quot; and especially the bubble letters &quot;ART&quot;, all done in Sharpie marker...&nbsp; probably middle school.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll go a step further. You can tell that it a girl who wrote it. (Taking that from the script, not the names.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The painting itself is really odd for a middle school show, though.&nbsp; Very abstract. And the frame with this piece is a total mystery.&nbsp; Maybe the mother of the artist goes to thrift stores or something and thought it would be an impressive match?</p><p><br /></p><p>I, myself, really struggle with abstract pieces, even when I see them in museums (valued in the tens of millions) I ask myself, &quot;would I have paid $500 for this at an estate sale?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>With my limited knowledge and agonizingly slow learning curve with abstract art, I have to go with gut, if gut doesn&#039;t work, look at clues.&nbsp; Odd frame, kid&#039;s writing on the back, canvas seems to be roughly cut, a bit rounded at the top.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
