Art critics: is this painting worth $1350 ?

[arcadian]

Came across this surfing the net. If you want to know the artist right click, I don't think the artist is well known.

1. It is if that's what someone would pay for it.

3. Not to me - I find it boring, and don't know the artist. But, if the art world values it at $50K+

then I'd pay $1350 for it and resell it.

It's all relative, and depends on one's tastes.

That's not to my tastes, so I wouldn't spend that much money for it to hang on my wall. I'd only buy it if I felt I could make a profit off it.

5. I don't know if it pleases everyone

but I like it. It reminds me very much of Cape Breton, where my mom was born and raised. Paintings are supposed to be pleasurable and evocative, so it fulfills that for me.

I can't stand some modern art--for instance, Jackson Pollock and Mondrian do diddly for me, nor does Picasso.

This is from a friend of mine who is a professional artist. He gets paid big bucks for every illustration he does. His paintings could and likely would sell higher than the painting in the original pic. But space scapes, dragons and other such things are not everybody's thing, so the audience for Bob's art is a lot smaller.

7. Not to me

The brushwork is amaturish at best. Some confusion between the background and the foreground in the trees.

Use of color is pretty decent though. And I enjoy the subject matter; I like seascapes better than landscapes. I

It looks to me like a student work in progress. I'd want to see some more delicate brushwork and detail. If the artist was going for more impressionistic style (seems so), I'd want to see some more dimensions in color..

8. For that kind of money

you could get a wall full of Kinkade and really impress your friends.

9. Personally, no

I like the brush strokes, but not the scale. Something bugs me about the white boat. It seems too big, or something. And the yellow looks like mustard! lol Otherwise, it's a nice painting.

11. Only if you like it enough to pay that much.

12. It reminds me of several American painters of the early 1950's who

were stuck in this kind of "modernist" representational stuff amd got left behind.
If you are asking if I like it, no I don't. It has little that I find interesting, and I wouldn't want to look at it all day.
As an artist, I don't much care for this style and also don't have the money in the first place.
