Hi There  I have recent come across this delicate little online shop selling artwork, I am thinking of buying "bubbles" as I've been keeping my eye on it & I feel it would work extremely well over my fire mantle, I am quite new to buying art and would really appreciate any advice on this piece & how to grow a collection plus if there's any other pieces you all might think would be of interest, you can see what type I like from bubbles.  P.S I assumed this was the right place with this post, if not please do let me know & i can post in the correct place. Yours John

I hope that this website (all of 47 days old) is not passing off a repro Millais as an original.

I don’t think that is the objective here, the embedded link takes you to a sales site featuring a variety of artists work for sale. So, John Cox, this isn’t a site for promoting sales of other artists work, we are all artists on here and have enough problems selling our own work! I won’t delete it yet, I’ll mull it over… Robert may have something to add to my comments.

This post has a embedded link to the sales site, due to the above post by Norrette I have my concerns about it. As this is  the  first posting by John I will leave it at present. If you have any concerns please report it and the necessary actions can be taken by the moderators.

Many thanks John , we do have so many people who’s intentions are not as honest as yours who put links into sales sites . Can I suggest that you put a photo of the painting and ask people what they think about it, I can’t promise that you will get a response as it’s so difficult to comment looking at a photo. Hope your successful in finding some artwork that you like and are confident that it’s a genuine piece. I’m personally very cautious of on line sales better to do some footwork once you see a painting you like the look of . Use local gallery’s if possible then you can go and look at it in reality much more positive.
