Question
Hi,  I have 2 oil paintings by artist J.ANTON i think, could you tell me the dates
and where this artist started painting,  

thanks perry webb

Answer
Sorry Perry, but art ID and appraisal is not my thing.  However you might try these guides:

Artist Research Library
www.artincontext.org      

Find Thousands of Artists by Name, Discipline, Period, Term & More.  
http://www.artcyclopedia.com/

Do an on-line search at Google, Yahoo or other search sites.

You might contact the American National Gallery research library or look in their online inventory for the artist's name.. http://www.nga.gov/resources/dldesc.shtm  

If price is your concern, 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.
(or likewise ask for help from your local museum of art).

Price always depends on demand regardless of what you are selling. It is worth exactly what you can get a buyer to pay for it. Cost is not the same as price:

Free information and advice is worth exactly what it costs ---- nothing!
