If you like it for $45.00, then it isn't rubbish to you. It's probably worth
just what you paid for it, including the gilt frame, ready to hang above
your paisley print sofa.

I've seen a PBS documentary about some groups
of 'artists' who produce these paintings at an incredible
pace, then sell them in bulk to dealers overseas. And,
I've been to many of those "Starving Artists Sale" exhibitions
in the NY/NJ/PA area, where most of the 'art works' are indeed
from Hong Kong, and are sold at prices ranging from $10-50.
These are the types of "Art Sale Shows" that get advertised
on TV and papers etc. most often. While I've seen some excellent
works here and there from HK artists, too many imitations,
wanna-be's, and generally mediocre, fastfood-like paintjobs
dominate such exhibitions. I understand that a lot of people
do purchase them nonetheless.
