I like painting but not of such a price. if i saw a painting that ment something deep and almost seemed like it had been painted for me then i would concider it and insure it. I met an italian art student in a small shop 3month ago complety by chance and he was selling original painted canvases for £70 and 2 for £100. i bought 1 of a winters day that reminded me of home when i was younger i got it stretched and framed and looks good. Noone in the world has the same painting and that is why i like it so much. I also like that i will never know who painted it what they look like or there age or even male or female. the italian man was only selling other student work he wasnt allowed to sell his own.
