Title: Need advice on where to research Hummels and Mona Thrasher paintings
Post by: Noarth on March 16, 2012, 10:08:51 pm

Hi all,
Any idea where I can find more info on Hummels?  I have two but not sure where to find more info.  Also need a starting point for Mona Thrasher oil paintings ( Northern Canadian artist).  I wrote an internet site awhile ago but never heard back.

Just google "collecting Hummels" and you will find many !!  I had one on my desktop but I think I deleted it !!  I  will look for your artist !!

You shouldn`t have a problem with the artist,, there is quite a lot on her !! Just google "Canadian artist, Mona Thrasher" She has stuff on Youtube and the entire page that comes up has info about her !!  I just read the topics and it said that she was born in 1942 and is evidently still working !!

She is still working.  I found lots of sites for both the Hummels and Mona Thrasher...what I can't seem to get is any real info on pricing but I'll keep picking away and maybe I get lucky and find a site or some answers soon. Thanks so much!

If you are looking for a price guide or searching for prices in general, you have to put that into the google search !!

Try this one !! They also have a fair market value guide, rather than just retail alone !!
