cool find

 

[treasure search]

a pretty scene for sure, someone spent lots of time & money to frame this piece of art. check the back , maybe $100 bills stuffed in there. I would bet this was a special gift to someone and possibly of moderate value.

Do a Google search for "Bob Sanders artist." Found several entries. Hope this helps. HH, Terry.

Must be quite popular, I have the exact hanging in my "beach themed" bedroom. Found at St. Vincent De Pauls Thrift Store for $5.

Is it a print? Can you show us the eBay link or do we have to search? You do realize that asking prices mean absolutely nothing. You have to search "completed listings" for ones that actually sold..

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I found 2 not yet sold bob sanders ocean | eBay but I was unable to find any completed listings.
no bids http://www.ebay.com/csc/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=bob+sanders+ocean&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc
I hope it turns out to be worth something.

The reproduction print is called "Luminous Waves"

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Heres one for $99 but again selling price means very little Bob Sanders Luminous Waves Lithograph Reproduction Framed Signed Nice 20 x 30 | eBay

looks like the same frame

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Heres one for $40 on Craiglist and there is nothing to suggest they will see the asking price.. Same frame again.Bob Sanders Luminous Waves Sorry OWG not looking too good.


You need to find one that actually sold. Are they numbered prints or were they mass produced? ? Can you see a number?

You'd get better luck on an art forum

How much money did they spend on these identical frames? How much is moderate value?

[ohiowhiteguy]

thanks for the info. i only checked out one ebay ad and got excited. didn't have time to look more due to being swamped at work.
i haven't swung my detector for a month now. so i have found some satisfaction taking an extra minute to look for surface finds.
anyway thanks to all for looking. i would rather be digging holes...

Yes it probably the same Bob Sanders but you cant compare an original oil painting on canvas to an un-numbered mass produced print.

 

[cw0909]

ohiowhiteguy,sorry i wasnt trying to compare an original oil painting, to your print,i guess i
should have pointed out,that there was more info on the pg about bob s.
here is more info on bob s.,and some of his prints. Q do you think it is a silkscreen print, and
i dont know the dif between a silkscreen,or a regular (if thats the right word) print

Thats a good link with all the prices. Does it have Luminous Waves?

I notice they are limited editions and some as low as 25. If this is a limited edition would effect the value. They are usually marked for instance 23/25. (23 of 25)

 

[ohiowhiteguy]

hey there friends..not sure how to tell a print from a silk screen? looking at it with a flashlight up close there are places where it looks screened and other spots look like a print...here is a pic of the back..it has some numbers on it..hope this helps..
your friendly neighborhood dumpster diver...lol
thanks.
