When Vincent van Gogh was alive and painting, the only person that appreciated his work was his brother. Today almost everyone likes his paintings. There is an expression. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" One hundred years ago Vincent's paintings were ignored and thought ugly by most, now these same paintings are considered beautiful. He was unique in his time, and not accepted. Today one can see many styles of painting, nothing is shocking to the public any more. The artist likes the work he creates, and there will be others that will connect to his expression and like it too … therefore the artist must find an audience. Personally, I think there are many Vincent's out there, trying to become noticed. When these artists are discovered, they haven't changed, only the views of others about him have changed. The recognized artist's work becomes more valuable, everybody wants it. The very same work that was worth little, is now held in high esteem.

Therefore, how do you price art ? I think is art has infinite value …… But in this world, art is worth what someone is willing to pay for it……whether that piece of work is in a gallery in New York, or a little town in rural Maine. There are many ways an artist gets his work seen, in Galleries, Co-ops, Art Fairs, and Art Associations. I like all the other artists are competing for these spaces. We are all looking for that beholder, that finds our work beautiful, and this has brought me to Ebay. Maybe, Ebay isn't the best place to view artwork, I think it is better to see art in person. Although on the other hand it's a place where one piece of art stands on a equal footing with another, waiting …… for the world to discover.

This brings me to my own work which I must give a value. Of course I am a somebody, for you to discover. I am a professional. I make my living as an artist, I was born an artist, have painted all my life. I make products of lasting value, paintings that enrich one's life ……as you will see.
