Featured Would this be considered factory art?

The signature (K. Mills) appears on quite a few paintings on eBay and Etsy.

The frame reads "hecho en México".

Thanks.

 

hecho en México translates to: made in Mexico

 

Thanks

 

It's kind of sweet.. not the usual formulaic facade scenes.

 

Thanks, I thought it was different from the typical factory painting.

Yes, a decorative painting from México.

I am shocked by how much some of these K. Mills paintings are selling for. The artist is most likely not a real person. My guess is the painting is from China and the frame is from Mexico. It is always a bad sign when there are a bunch of paintings for sale by an artist, or signed the same way, yet there is no information about the artist. Sellers will sometimes try to create these phony vague histories for these factory artists. If an artist actually existed, they almost always leave at least a tidbit of a paper trail.

 

Thanks!
