AboutJudy Expertise I can answer ALL questions related to watercolor paintings, except appraisal or artist identification. I can answer general questions about oil, acrylic, Chinese painting, and other media. I am NOT an art appraiser at all for any kind. I can only answer questions in aspects of materials, techniques, and critiques. I do NOT have the access to records of auction, painting pricing, or artist files & works, unlike art gallery dealers or art appraisers. I would not know how much an art piece is worth, but I am only an expert in the "art form" but nothing to do with VALUE.
Experience Professional watercolorist for decades. Knowledgeable about all media, but not in value or pricing.

Please look at this picture I included here to see if that's the one you were describing (this is the closest one I can think of to fit your description of your painting.
If it is the one, then you have a reproduction, for this painting is widely reproduced. The original painting is held in Christie's.
If it is not, look closely to see if the colors and image are made of tiny uniformed dots of red, cyan, and yellow dots. If the painting is consist of these uniformed dots, then you have a reproduction of a painting by the artist. If it is original, you cannot see any uniformed dots.
