Where To Buy Cruise Ship Paintings

http://www.LloydDobsonArtist.com Where To Buy Cruise Ship Paintings can be several choices. You can attend the art auctions held on the cruise or buy direct from a renowned Siesta Key - Sarasota artist Lloyd Dobson. Who by the way ships free to the lower US 48 and Canada. What's the worst place on a cruise ship? If you ask regular cruisers, they might tell you to avoid the cigar bar or the Lido Pool area. But for me, it's the art auction area. The rules can vary, so I encourage you to read before you bid, but here are some of the possible hidden charges: The hammer price and the buyer’s premium are two separate charges common to all art auctions. The latter alone usually amounts about 15 percent of the bid. When the piece arrives by courier expect to see added sales tax, shipping, handling and insurance charges. Every piece also comes with an appraisal from the gallery, which costs $25. You do not get the actual piece you bid on unless the auctioneer identifies it as a “carry-off” item. Remember, the gallery can own several hundred copies of each print, all of equal value, and although this is rarely mentioned during the auction, the contract says that they will send you one – at your expense. All together, surcharges can add about $100 - $200 to your bid price. Shipboard art auctions can be a lot of fun, and they do offer free champagne. And that's the problem. Lured by the secure environment onboard the ship, many passengers are more likely to believe the value claims made by the art auctioneers. If you're not careful with the cheap bubbly, you could end up owning a painting of four dogs playing poker. My advice, if you see something you really like, take a picture of it and see if a local art gallery can find it or something like it for you. You usually get better art deals on land, where you can play the competition among galleries. Better yet, take a photo of a beautiful landscape on your cruise and email Lloyd Dobson Artist lloyddobsonartist@gmail.com the size you desire for a FREE quote. That will be a far better value and a terrific memory that will always remain priceless. Here are a few examples of Lloyd Dobson's oil paintings. Or go to http://www.LloydDobsonArtist.com and pick out a painting.
