Artists

It’s a reproduction of the original painting. The color just isn’t as bright and vivid as I thought it would be. I know that I can return it because there is a 15% restocking fee, but will the artist be offended or upset if I ask for another painting?

Depends entirely on the ego of the artist. You can always note that you were expecting more vivid colors and see what the response is. They may be more than happy to exchange – or they may think you’re rude and do it anyway. Do you care more about what an artist thinks of a person they won’t remember next week or do you care more about the art you could have on your wall for years that you’re not happy with?

I have one of his prints containing 6 pretty sinister looking clowns.Their faces are somehow familiar but I can’t be sure from where.Any interest or info would be nice.

Hi! Robert Owen was born in Polk County, Missouri on September 2, 1930. He was ninth of ten children.

He has been painting for 35 years professionally. For 30 of those years he has been delighting people with his clowns.

His website domain is for sale, which give me cause for concern, however many other sites sell his paintings and prints.

Here is a link to some of his past artwork:

I just have a feeling that this first painting may the original painting of the print you are referring to with "6 sinister looking clowns."

Many of his collectors were celebrities, including several comedians such as Jerry Van Dyke, Sid Caesar. I wonder if he portrayed their looks in any of his artwork? He did paint Emmet Kelly’s face often.

He was a resident of Balboa (LA area), California for many years, and left his imprint on that area:

I suggest you contact any of the galleries selling his work for more information. Hope this has been of help.

Best wishes!

During a trip to San Francisco I saw this spray paint artist along one of the sidewalks. He uses only spray paint, a putty knife, newspaper, pieces of cardboard, and the lid from a paint can to make all his designs. When they are finished he holds a lighter in front of can of clear spray paint and uses the flames to quick-dry the painting. I bought the one seen at the beginning of the video directly in front of the one he is working on. There was a crowd of people and I only had a cheap digital camera so the quality is not so great.

Hi! It will be hard to say without a lot
of additional information like style and
subject matter and, in fact, the artist’s
true name. Here are some possibilities
of known and documented artists but
it might easily be someone else. The
numbers on the back could be from a
number of things: an art supply house,
a framer’s marks, reproduction house
inventory codes, etc.
Artwork must be ’seen’ by an expert for
a reliable assessment. Try and contact
a good auction house or a reputable
fine arts appraiser if you want to know
more. Good luck!

I got a oil painting from a neighbors elderly friend that was auctioning her antiques.I was wandering if anyone know if it is of value. I can send pictures and the Master oil painter is Eduardo Leon garrido from Spain.
He was born in the 1800 and passed away in mid 1900. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Thank You for the information. I really appreciate it!!!

You will need to know if your painting is original and genuine so take it to a reputable auctioneer or dealer in 19th century pictures and get it appraised (photographs are not reliable enough).

who would you take it to in order to find out? I have a painting by Frederick Remington and I would like to know if it is the real deal. it is framed under glass.

Most framers and most art galleries could tell you in a minute if it’s the real thing or a print.
