<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 4464738, member: 5398"]Thank you so much, verybrad, for your comments. After looking at the signature again, I see that you are right about the 1911 date. I've only used the local auction place since February and don't see any paintings listed for the current auction. However, I have seen a few other things go for amazingly high prices. I can't sell to antique malls as a picker because of a state law that now prohibits that, and I don't want people coming to my house to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also sell on eBay and wonder what your opinion is on listing these paintings there. I looked at sold paintings in the 1900-1924 category and found one that looked similar and was described as Antique Impressionism -- would that be appropriate for mine?. Mine have some condition issues, the frames have been painted over with gold paint, and there are missing pieces. I'm wondering if they would do better if I removed them from the frames to reduce shipping cost.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
