[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9490356, member: 84"]This came in today at a regular thrift store I go to everyday. I saw it as it was brought in & asked the manager how much? (!) He told me $100 - because the frame was old & large (it is - I'm guessing 4ft x 3ft & 2-3" thick). I looked up C D Hunt and found some of his paintings were canvas on board - is that what mine is? (I thought it was just board by look & feel, but there is some crackling in sky; would that happen on board or just canvas?) And most important - do you think this is real?! I think a art collector passed away & relatives with no idea have been donating his work (maybe it came from house/estate sale I found the Leon Voirin painting in?? lol Thanks as always for any help. PS - It appears darker to me in my house; I took photos by my car in sunlight as soon as I got it out of the thrift store - maybe needs a cleaning to be that bright inside?
