Hello Tara - how wonderful that you have an original painting from Frederic Remington! Unfortunately, I am not an appraiser and would not be able to tell you how much your painting is worth. You need to take your painting to a certified and professional fine art appraiser. Make sure that you check this person's professional background as well before you pay for an appraisal. I would call Sotheby's or another fine art auctioneer and ask them who they recommend. Thank you for stopping by Red Easel! I hope you have a blessed holiday. - Susan Vaughn

Do You Know How To Play?
Image
I think I have forgotten how to play. I used to be good at it. As a matter of fact, I wanted to do it all the time! But, as I've gotten older, and with all the children I've had the honor of being "mother" to, I've become an old fuddy-duddy. My favorite activity at the age of 52 is sleep, and to admit that I've turned into my mother is quite obvious. Continue reading

Hello Jim! In the Thomas Crown Affair, the painting "Certain Uncertainties" by Christian Vincent did not have any prints made. You can't even find a postcard with the painting on it and very few images online as well. I have done a couple master reproductions on commission although they do not look "exactly" like the original as I have added the girl's knee to one side of the canvas where it is cut off in the original, and I changed her face as well just a bit. Here is the final image of my reproduction:

Hello Laurie! I know I am late in replying to your comment, but the painting you are speaking of is called "The Mirror of Venus" by Sir Edward Burne-Jones. It is Oil on canvas and 120 x 200 cm. I think it resides at the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian. Here is an image of the painting you are speaking of: Susan

Too Much Creative Energy For My Own Good
Image
But hey! It was fun! And that's what artist's do - have fun, right? Who cares if I have about 10 loads of laundry to get done, or dishes to clean, or carpet to vacuum, or paintings to work on. I was inspired by the original artist of the Obama Hope Poster, Shepard Fairey. Continue reading

Scientists Unlock Secret of Mona Lisa's Face
Image
The Mona-Lisa is exhibited at the Louvre in Paris. It is estimated to be valued at more than 100 million US dollars. Mona is short for Madonna Lisa Gerardini, who was the wife of Francesco del Jiocondo of Firenze. There is, however, another theory that the picture is of Constansa Develos, who was named by La Jaconda and was the mistress of Julianno de Medichi. The first buyer of the Mona Lisa was Francis the 1st, King of France in 1517. Amazingly, the King hung the painting in his toilet room. Now for today's story ... Continue reading

The More I Sew, The Better I Am At Painting
Image
The brain is a wonderful taskmaster, and I have discovered that as I pursue multiple creative interests, that the challenges I find in one thing may help me solve the challenges I find in another. I believe that all creative people have multiple interests, many just focus on one that they really love more than the other, while others bounce back and forth from one creative interest to another - like myself. I'm a bit nutty that way I suppose. I have an over-active right brain - and left-brain too for that matter! Continue reading
