Took a chance on some art

[silverdollarbill]

I don't usually by art, but everyone says buy what you like. I really like the sunset one. Its by AD Neri who I do not know who it is. It says it is the Yakama reservation in 2001.

The second is by Don Blisard. The content is not engaging but I like his style. Paid $60 for both.

I like the Blisard. I believe it is resellable. I found one auction sale for $190.

Lazy Days of Summer, T.D. Murphy Calendar Company illustration sold by Heritage Auctions, Dallas, on Wednesday, May 07, 2014

Just in case you have not researched it yet. Yakima Indian Reservation is in the State of Washington.

I think you did pretty good on those two pieces. I'm not much of a fan for primitives but I do like the Neri.

So I just found the Blisard painting here.

Estimate is much higher than I expected. Any recommendations on how and where to sell paintings? I feel like shipping is a bad idea.

It did not sell in that auction for that estimate. (Bought in, no bidders or did not reach estimate). I would contact Heritage auction where the example I found did sell.

Thanks for tip. Looks like it sold for $112. I'm hoping for $60.
