This will be my third episode. The first i watched was two paintings of people of color and it was a joy filled episode. The second was of two experts, the original who knew the artist and agreed that a painting was by him, but she had passed, and the new expert who wouldn’t bend, and was two cowardly to appear on the show, despite all the scientific proof they presented. You could tell that while I’m sure the owner did care about the painting’s value, she cared most about the painting itself. It left me very sad that this second ‘expert’ wouldn’t even listen to science (like many idiots today). I feel like the owner should sue the ‘expert’ and let them both present evidence in court! I’m hoping this episode has a happier ending, like the first.

I was wondering just how long it took him to do that painting and whether Fiona stood there chatting with him the whole time.

It was, and this show really is one of the more exciting journeys. A copy of my Comment Thoughts, you might find interesting: Like a journey of clues to discover Treasures: This is such a journey of teamwork with a cohesive focus on attaining the truth and in this joint desire their energies are rewarded with delicious facts that include science, Physics, chemistry, and the Behavioral Science sneaks into the experience. Human Nature and choices, the little side rooms of our personal experiences when we make choices that are unique, not in keeping with habit or routine, and which normally remain unknown. Not necessarily any sort of malicious intent, rather an exploding, and with specific relationship to the 5 colors of Windsor and Newton, the Artist remained loyal, he merely was exploring "Elements" offered of the White Paint range. It was a particularly enjoyable watch, given that "from my areas of interests and focus, I understand a bit more of the Human Nature, Human Behaviors, and can easily say this Artist really didn't mislead anyone with his statement, he merely either opted to explore the WN Whites for his own Artistic desires, and/or didn't have the need to explain that it was more than WN White, actually adding a degree 9f expert knowledge to his works for the future investigations to validate his paintings as authentic. I found this so interesting, as if the Artist was giving the search for Authenticity a value of delicious discoveries. It was like clues to where the Treasure is to be found, ... and they did! Excellent, truly a successful adventure! Beth Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian

Like cadmium white?

Astute observation, spot on!

Sounds reasonable to me. Lol

Used to prime the canvas?

The photos show the boxes of these types of white paint in his studio

Finally, a picture of the disputed painting in the artist's actual studio.

Yeah, another positive outcome

Of course it was. It's a television program. Nothing unexpected can happen. It's all scripted and planned out. TV shows are expensive to make and can't go awry.

Just enjoy the art for what it is....if not sure don't buy it, get a poster instead;)

Had to Google that. Never heard of that term.

As someone who loves and appreciates many types of art, I can see how it's difficult for many people to like art created by someone like Lowry: it's primitive, crude, naive...the technique isn't polished, it looks like something a 5 year old could do. The same could be said for a number of well-known artists: Horace Pippin, Grandma Moses, Bill Traylor, even living painters like Peter Doig. But what it comes down to is that it's not always technique that's necessarily important. It has more to do with feeling, charm...sometimes it's whimsy, sometimes it's some sort of darker truth that's revealed. And that's why today you see more of an acceptance of "outsider" art because in the eyes of many, the art is less sterile, less filtered. But I get it. I used to think the same way.

He painted for himself long before he was excepted and eventually after he'd been a rent collector made lots of money in his 60's

Try a different episode.

@@baylorsailor I watched them all when they were on the TV and am re-watching.

What a boring world you must live in

Now you got me wondering who can draw better between you or you Granddaughter…? Tell us- don’t lie!

A crayon- like style of similar graphic oriented figures in crowds, taking bent poses, may be seen in the works of Keith Herring. Look into Keith Herring’s work, you may just love how hopeful his figures are. Good luck to you with your drawing!
