Subject: Mary Botto Painting

I've too just purchased a large Mary Botto painting of a Paris street scene. The price was right, the colors lively and the painting well executed.

The signiture matches exactly with several others I've seen on the web ... but my guess is that she was from the "Starving Artist" ranks of painters and painted hundreds, or perhaps even thousands of paintings in the style we all seem to be drawn to and enjoy.

The paintings are what they are ... affordable, yet beautiful and are worth our admiration ... which is why I purchased mine. My advice is for purchasers of her work is to just enjoy and not give too much thought to dollar value!

[ Another thought ... her name could be an acronym ..RE: "M"...many "A"... artists "R"... rendering .... ect!]
