Yep, thanks for the tip, here it is:
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/OIL-PAINTING-...-/390351164905

I plugged the picture into Google's reverse image search and got a bunch more hits, such as this one. It appears the painting is being mass produced in China.

Default help please

this painting looks kind of like a bouguereau & it might be, but i can't find it in a google search.

the painting is blue toned with mostly naked women and at least one man. one of the women is riding a goat through what looks like clouds.

does anyone know who this is and where i can find a print?

thanks in advance

Faust's Vision [The Departure of Witches] by Luis Ricardo Falero perhaps?

Thanks, Eirene, good find. I suspect that is the one being asked about.

And it is available in several different sizes at Allposters. This is an affiliate link, but you'll notice that Artconversation is completely ad-free, so a couple of bucks here and there helps offset the hosting costs.

I'm looking for the artist or where I can obtain a copy of the art listed as 7669~Hanukkah-poster at recovery graphics.

Appreciate any help as I keep running in circles during my search.
Phil

Google's reverse image search (use the little camera icon inside the search box of their image search) brings up a lot of places it's used online, but in my limited searching I didn't see any artist credit or indication where one can purchase a print. Maybe you'll have better luck.

Red face Can you name the painting or the artist for me?

I ordered this painting which is a reproduction done in brushstrokes. Can anyone tell me who was the original artist or what the name of the painting is? I tried to upload a photo of the painting but the file was too large and this site rejected it. So here goes. The painting is of 3 women sitting around a small table in an outdoor cafe. The middle woman is facing the front of the painting. Her mouth is open and she is talking. The other two women are on opposite sides of her with their heads turned toward her or away from the viewer. The women take up the majority of the painting. they are under a green and white striped awning. The form is sort of impressionist. The content is a bit blurry and the figures distorted. Everything becomes clearer the further away you are standing from the painting. You can see the legs of the two closer women under the table.
Thanks for your help.
PS: This site is confusing. I could see no way to create a new thread or to post a new question. Sorry if this isn't where this post should be.

- If you go to any of the forum pages, there is a "New Thread" button in the upper left.
- An image viewer such as IrfanView can reduce digital photos down to a reasonable size, if you don't want to use a full image editing program. In .jpg format, the 500K size limit is large enough to accommodate a fullscreen image, which is large enough for any purposes.
- Sorry but I don't recognize your painting from the description. Maybe someone else will recall it.

Use the paperclip icon for attachments, or upload it elsewhere and post a link.

I have two paintings ( acrylic I think ) by an artist " Harris". One is of a rabbit in a top hat with roses scattered on the floor. The second is a pig in a shower on a checkerboard floor. Any help is appreciated

If someone could help me it would be great. I'm looking for a painting where a man is standing in the water in red with an angel or baby Jesus on his shoulders. Around him are rocks, and behind him is a long view of the sunset. It has elements of baroque, but I'm not sure.

Default Looking for a picture

its a four panel picture of a town square and each panel shows the changes over time from the 50's through the 80's I believe. Saw it in a textbook like 13 yrs ago. If anybody could point me in the right direction that would be fantastic. Thanks.

yes, in the 60s panel I remember there being a vw bus and some anti-Nam rhetoric.

Trying to find the artist's name who was inspired by his daughter's heart disease. The paintings are of little rag dolls and sewn hearts and repaired hearts and torn hearts with really neat trees.....anyone have an idea??
