[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 9732917, member: 16407"]This large horizontal painting was only $26 at an estate sale. There was other art there, some of which seemed like someone had painted onto / over an existing painting. Duh. Do you think someone 'touched up' the lilies and the blue water on this?

There's a shiny-ish varnish over the whole painting, and as far as I can see, it's consistent-- as in, no one painted on top of that.
