Question I received a painting as a gift and cannot find out anything about the artist. There is a certificate of authenticity from Collier art corp. The artist is Martin. On the painting it says D Martin. It is an oil painting titled Mediterranian (spelled as it is on the painting). Can you help me out? I am a massage therapist and have had it on my wall forever because the colors are wonderful and it flows with my massage room. I have tried to Google him/her but I am not able to find out a thing. I appreciate anything you can offer. Thank you! Kara
I recommend that you contact an appraisal service in your area. You may also wish to use the services of an online appraisal service such as www.eppraisals.com.
