I have an original oil painting I purchased through Artistic Interiors in 1982. The certificate number is 174653. It is a still life floral. I am looking for the name of the artist and information about the artist, as well as what I paid for the painting. Where can I find this information? Time is of the essence.

The very best - and quickest thing you can do - is to get in touch directly with Artistic Interiors. You can e-mail your question to them. At their site there is a proper form for you to fill in with your query:

I had painted for years, but stopped because my house was filled with oil paintings. Finally, I took about 25 of them to my relatives up north and gave them away. I wish I hadn't because I found a woman wanting to buy the paintings I prefer doing, such as pictures of the American Indian and Southwest sceneries. I prefer painting in oils because of the texture I can work, but it's messy and expensive. My new home isn't built with an art studio as I had in Tucson so I don't paint as much as I'd like to.

Hi! There are many people asking similar questions. There are several bouncing around the internet: http://prescott.craigslist.org/clt/361793579.html

These should give you a frame of reference as far as today's value. I don't see that this firm is still operating, you may want to enter one of the forums on-line for inquiries such as this. Basically, these were paintings for home decor purposes. Best of luck!

Do you have a picture of the painting? It would be very helpful.
Try to contact the company you purchased it from -- if they're not available, then short of a picture it will be very difficult for anyone else to get access to their archives with such limited information on the work and its origin.
