De,

Just wondering. Do you really like or enjoy those pieces of art?

I do not find them interesting or anything.. BUT, I am not someone who liked "ART" in school or anywhere else.

So it must a left side/right side dominance thingy????

The only 'artsy" thing I ever was good at was in music playing instruments. I play Clarinet and three saxes, Baritone, tenor, and alto Sax.

THAT is the extent of my art side. I never liked "art" classes but loved mathematics, debate, English grammar,
and especially sciences.

SO You have a side of you with your appreciation of ART and paintings that I simply cannot see..

Glad you are finding some things that are of interest to you at a good price.. and having some fun at auction while doing it!

An upcoming art auction I'm watching has several Linda Le Kinff paintings, two of which are shown below. As you can see, I actually understated what her works usually go for at auction. The piece we won, however, was six dollars.

Another Le Kinff being sold at this auction, a small (5" x 20") watercolor, has a starting bid of $325. Starting bids aren't the same as selling prices, of course. Art that has a set starting price often fails to get any bid and has to be auctioned several times before it finally sells. But that isn't really my point. I'll watch these two pieces and see if they actually do get any bids. If they do, the bid sure won't be mine! I prefer finding art and jewelry in "miscellaneous" auctions... where the auction houses may not know any more about the things they're selling than I do. Sometimes they know less.

Le Kinff's art reminds me of Tarkay's, except that Tarkay is quite famous since his pieces are often seen at cruise ship auctions and in auctions elsewhere. A huge difference, though, between Tarkay's art and Le Kinff's is that the Tarkay's always seem to be serigraphs, lithographs and prints. (I'm not an artist. To me, these three terms all just synonyms for "mass reproductions.") A given Tarkay painting might have 1,000 copies manufactured and sold this way. The Le Kinffs I've seen, though, are originals... to the best of my understanding. They are priced similarly to Tarkays but are far more collectible, for me anyway. I always prefer original works.
