Art Experts, I need your help

I just bought a psinting of three oranges by “K. Alden”. For $20. It was worth it to me, just because I like the painting. I tried searching for the artist on the web and came up with only one result.

The K. Alden I have is very similar, except it’s not apples, but oranges. Anyone able to tell me about this artist, or this painting?

I’ve never heard of him [her?] but it’s looking good, mighty_maxx. I’ll ask around, okay?

Sweet Thanks. You always hear stories, of art noobs getting masterpieces from garage sales. You never know. Even if its only worth covering the spot in my wall, thats all I want it for.

I don’t know anything about your Mr. (Ms?) Alden, but I recognize most of the other pieces on that web page. That’s a group of very popular artists whose work is available at your typical upscale mall gallery, and snorted at by the downtown art crowd. So if Alden is appropriately included in that group, you likely got an excellent deal for $20, since I imagine they’re typically priced in the hundreds (assuming it’s an original painting and not a print), but it’s unlikely this person will make the art history books. Short-term investment results, excellent; hundred years, meh.

Personally, I kinda like the apples.
