Brad I am so glad you started this thread! Am enjoying the variety of art, especially love the "winter scene" painting.
I would like to share some artwork too, I will start with this "creepy, sad" piece. This one was sold to me in a dust-covered stack of art that was leaning up against a tree at an auction last fall. I was after another in the bunch and this came with it. At first, with the dust and dirt on it, I thought it was a bunch of gypsies or something holding a seance. I love to decorate for holidays and thought this would be great to display for Halloween. Later, when I wiped it off, I realized it was a family sitting at a table together....and for some reason I couldn't stop looking at it! It appears to be an older print on some kind of particle board?, no sig, just a copyright sign and "V.G." in the lower right corner. There is the word "Vincent" on the back of the man's chair. What's odd is, the print appears older, but the frame and paper backing looks newer, as if someone had it reframed. But why? Who would hang this in their home?
I often look at this picture, wondering who these people are, their ethnic background?, why they appear so sad, there is almost a creepyness about it but maybe that's because it's so dark. What I like is how the lighting is used, it was hard to capture in the photos but the picture looks different from various angles due to the lighting, also the depth looks different depending from which view you look at it.
Am wondering if anyone has any idea on the artist or any information about it. I know it's not expensive fancy art but for some reason it stirred my emotions so I find it interesting regardless.
