> [@DesertDog](#): > > No, I have not. Sorry. A mall in Scottsdale has a store, “Genuine Oil Paintings” which I _have_ seen, though not bought from. The paintings there looked all right, certainly good enough to act as decoration. I googled the phrase thinking they might have an online store. Since the site doesn’t mention any stores, as such, I doubt there’s a connection between the two. If I can get up to Scottsdale in the next few days, I’ll ask 'em. > > DD While I am looking for decoration, I do enjoy looking at them. Copies in my home will likely get more eyeball time than the original masters do in the homes of those who can afford them. That’s a good idea. I hadn’t thought of looking in a mall.

They’re posters (lithographs), not paintings. :rolleyes: ---

Here’s the [story](http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/04/05/eveningnews/main1476155.shtml?CMP=ILC-SearchStories) I mentioned in the OP. And more like what I’m looking for. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-want-some-fake-paintings/351508.md?page=1)
