I just would like to say, those are real cracks in that painting, Please don't think I'm questioning your estimate, but maybe I need to take close up photo, like I did with the second painting. I do appreciate your timely responds, and the money I saved. I ask a so expert how must would he charge me to see if these painting are worth appraising, he said $100.00 just to look at one. So you would imagine to my surprise to find your website. That was an answered prayer. I have has these painting for years because I couldn't afford, what they were asking for to get them appraised. "$15.00 to find out the painting was worth only 20-$60. Thank You.

In-person and on-site assessments do cost that much, I personally charge $150 an hour for such services. Yes, the 'cracks are real', however they are created using a surface treatment, like faux finishing.

I apologize if I offended you...One more thing I like to add that modern frame I put it on there, I forgot I did that. Didn't catch it until I read your appraisal the second time. The frame that was originally on there, looked old and worn, not knowing what I had I put a new frame on it...Just thought I mention that..It still may not be no more than a extra ten dollar for mentioning that.
