[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 119147, member: 50"]I've become so skeptical these days LOL! I bought a small painting at a thrift (not your painting) after checking some sold prices and seeing that it seemed to be by someone that had at least some following. It's signed Roybal. As I delved into the painter online I found a bio and everything. Then I found some suggesting that it's really a made up person with a group of people doing the painting. Who knows? It's made me think twice about a lot of what I think of as sweet art. I don't see any reason a painter might not copy/repeat their own painting if it proved to be a "seller" especially if they were painting for a tourist market. The first thing I thought when I saw your darling child painting was that it was Mexican. (I have nothing to base that on though). Ok that was no help at all sorry:(.
