Once again, for the umpteenth time, we are offered a couple of fifty cent yard sale paintings of Florida palms and water that some genius has signed and dated H Newton on the verso.
First of all, if you like these, if you'd be proud to enjoy them on the wall of your choice in your home, by all means, buy them. However, if the auction doesn't get canceled, I'd be surprised.
Secondly, if you like these, well, what can I say ?
Here they are:
Since the link won't last, I copy/pasted their description.
WE ARE PROUD TO OFFER THIS BEAUTIFUL PAIR OF FLORIDA OIL PAINTING BY THE GODFATHER AND FOUNDER OF THE LEGENDARY FLORIDA HIGHWAYMEN ARTISTS, HAROLD NEWTON (1934-1994). THEY ARE A VERY UNIQUE SMALLER SIZE AND IN AN ALMOST NEVER SEEN RARITY, THEY ARE DATED!!! THEY FEATURE LOVELY BRIGHT COLORED PALM TREES AND GORGEOUS BLUE SKY AND WATER. THE SIZE OF THE PAINTINGS ARE ABOUT 9" X 11", THEY ARE BOTH SIGNED VERSO, "HAROLD NEWTON 1964".
This eBay seller has 100 percent positive feedback. Almost 1200 happy deals made.
Looks good, eh ? Makes you feel comfy ?
I check these things for you, constant followers, so you don't have to waste time.
Perhaps they googled H Newton images, studied a handful of his actual works, and said, "Damn, these HAVE to be legit, they are SO THE SAME. They have PALM TREES""
It's also interesting to note that the same seller recently listed an Andrew Wyeth watercolor which they successfully sold for,.................. wait for it.................. $ 129.00. Heh heh heh.
At least they had sense enough to put a question mark in that listing.
I guess they weren't sure about it ?
They seem pretty sure about these two Florida paintings, though, as you read in their description.
Once more I warn you, be careful out there.
OK, they ended it already, I checked an hour later. 9:33 am.
Apparently the seller did the right thing. I now tip my cap to them.
