Title: Joy Caros Paintings
Post by: Shannow on December 24, 2017, 10:09:37 PM: I am trying to buy any velvet paintings by the Canadian artist Joy Caros. Please email me jason27_foley@bigpond.com if you have any, or know where some of her paintings are for sale. I have attached some of her artwork below.

Hi, thanks for posting. I was aware of this one. A little bit expensive for what most of her paintings are selling for at present. Cheers.

When one’s paintings looks like a “photograph”, and you are momentarily dubious if the subject is imaginary or actual ….. you know you are witnessing true artistic talent.

Like this painting by Salvador Dali, to wi:

I have painted a few "oils" in my younger days, ..... that looked pretty, but no comparison to the work(s) of the great artists.

Shannow,, The painting on ebay is also a"make offer" listing !! Just offer what you are comfortable paying for it !! Most people put ridiculous prices on items in the hope that someone will bid and be locked into buying it !!
