I've been interested in Art for a long time. I've gone to some galleries, small and large, viewed some of the Masters works and I keep coming back to the same question in my mind. What consitutes good art? I've seen some real junk out there and I've seen some amazing stuff as well. What makes something worthy of a $5.00 pricetag and what makes it worth $ 500.00. I'm at a loss. I've seen some kids scribble stuff that was priced at over a grand. So here is my experiment. The above piece was purchased from a gallery: How much did I pay for it? There is some texture to it and it is acrylic on canvas, with paper and varnish. It is approximately 24X16.
