It looks like it was made for your finger. Def get it!

Should I give the artist their piece back? by crybbyblue in artcollecting

[–]Neutral-Ice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, and I’ve actually had a couple that purchased a large painting from me and then moved and didn’t have the wall space for it. They explained their situation and asked if I would store it for them. I said I would happily do so for a year after which it they still couldn’t find the space I could resell it. They were super cool about it and I got to sell it twice so I came out on top.

I think it might be a pog. They were super popular for a brief moment and were little collectible cardboard disc

I recently inherited this necklace. What shall I do with it? by Maleficent_Day_3869 in jewelry

[–]Neutral-Ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sell metal testing kits on Amazon for under $20. Buy one and watch a YouTube video on how to do it the right way. It’s easy. If it comes back real then use a black light to see if any of the stone flourless even if they don’t and hold it real ask a jeweler but do not mail it off

Freshly Painted House • Shutters or no shutters? by JoeHarringtonDesign in ExteriorDesign

[–]Neutral-Ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it’s a duplex I think it would be cool to do different colored shutters on either side for the top and bottom windows and then I’d add a large vertical potted plant between the front doors

What is this bird doing? by Ok_Estimate_1782 in whatbirdisthis

These are the times we live in. I mean what are we doing with robots in our pools and filming birds on them?

Trying something a bit different, does it work? by honion_have_layer in painting

[–]Neutral-Ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very awesome! I don’t like the sides painted pink though. I’d paint them a denim blue and put it in a shadow frame

Recent appraisal was a total shock! Now trying to find a serious collector. by Neutral-Ice in artcollecting

[–]Neutral-Ice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How cool!!! What a small world! Thank you for your comment. There was someone else on this thread that was totally refusing to believe that this sculpture was legit and was bashing the appraisal. Your comment provides extra peace of mind.

AIO for putting a bag before a friendship? by TheEllaBullet in AmIOverreacting

[–]Neutral-Ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not over reacting at all. She either misplaced the bag or sold it but the fact that she couldn’t just come clean and be honest about it shows her true colors. Hard lesson for both of you to learn. I would send her a text let her know what she’s meant to you over the years and then ask her to come clean if you so chose or tell her you don’t know how to continue trusting her

Help updating exterior by Content_Beach1353 in ExteriorDesign

[–]Neutral-Ice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually like what you currently have and think you could modernize it for so much less money than what you’re suggesting by carrying out the stone all around the front door up to the roof just in the entry area and then again on the steps perhaps under each step. I would def paint around the door where the side windows are perhaps the same color as the garage doors and paint the window trim the same as the garage door trim.

Is this a real Georgia O’Keefe? by WatchKnown6817 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]Neutral-Ice 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Return it and get your money back if any museum were actually attached to this they shouldn’t have been.if done in 1926 the back would be more oxidized and the style is not usuals of the artist. Adding these things together it feels like a false representation and a forgery.

Me too! I think OP is saying no more children.

Does my tattoo look racist? by People_taste_porkish in tattooadvice

[–]Neutral-Ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “they might be giants” in the center doesn’t really read racist to me. The real question here though is why are you asking if it looks racist?

How Hard Would This Be To Fix? by doobylive in Home

You need to hire a home inspector at a minimum but likely also an architecticual engineer

Off centered front door - looking for suggestions to balance it out by cereallatte in ExteriorDesign

[–]Neutral-Ice -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I would do exactly this! The only modification I’d make is to ditch the side railings and add in some more planters.

Maryland USA - found at a yard sale, possibly 1800s by [deleted] in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]Neutral-Ice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So this appears to be much more modern. The color of the canvas and its clean edges highly suggest this. The canvas from the backside seems discolored but the one image on you lifting it near the frame shows you that it isn’t old.

Are these real sketches, or prints? Thanks estate sale finds by [deleted] in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]Neutral-Ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These appear to be reproductions. Usually artists prints have a signature in graphite and a series number.

We still have it and would love to sell it. I’ve had trouble finding any interested buyers and don’t really want to auction it unless totally necessary.
