Message:Dear all who have been asking about Clown "Paintings By Michele",

For starters Michele is my mother (I am 53 years old - you do the math!), so therefore she is not a man. All the originals are still family held, and none have ever been sold. Reproductions are primarily from the mid to late 60's and very early 70's. My mother is alive and well and living in Illinois. There are a VERY limited number of reproductions still available. Should anyone want information or original reproductions that are signed by the REAL artist, let me know. I will also tell you, the number of reproductions that have been sold and signed, would have been 20+ years ago, and you could count them on your fingers. Regarding pencil markings on the back, these would have been added by a reseller. Hopefully this will help clear things up a bit.

Thanks!
Arnie

PS. If anybody has an oil painting, I can assure you it is a knock-off.
