HI there,
we too are just back and bought an amazing painting of frangipani? flowers on a black back drop.
Cant remember size - it was not that big and I bargained to 300,000 and its about $60 NZ.
It painting is soooooo different,depends on artist, size, what it is painted in, what it is about etc etc.
I went to a fab gallaria where they walk you through each room and tell you about each room as there are many rooms in this place, alot of different painters and sooo many awesome paintings with amazing detail.
I went to a co-op painters what ever! and the painter gets a cut and then the rest goes to them all.
He would not let me tip as I had bought a painting - neat people.
The way it was wrapped (with the frame out for customs etc)was well done as it feels like a tube but I am sure it is not.
It is for a 21st present so I will wait till it is framed before I un-wrap but it just went into our suit case :)
Hope this helps...
