Title: Brian Wilson signed Dan Mackin Paintings Post by: Clare on February 21, 2011, 10:54:03 AM Hi Everyone,
I haven't posted in a while but I am glad to be back. Anyway just something I thought would be of interest - I was on vacation in Naples, Florida first week of February and my husband and I walk in to this art gallery - I forget the name of it - it had great Elvis photos, Beatles and one Beach Boy (It was the one when Mike, Carl, Bruce, Dennis and BW and Al are kind of leaning over a fence circa 1967). So I ask the dealer if there are any other photos of the BB and he says no but would I like to see these paintings that BW has signed and named by Dan Mackin. So right there in front of me are 3 separate signed paintings - each one named after a song. There was Surfer Girl, God Only Knows and Wouldn't it be Nice. Of course I was so thrilled to see a BW signature and dedication in the flesh that I had a delusional moment and I asked how much for the Surfer Girl painting. The dealer says let me call the owner; walks to the back. He returns with a price of $1250 (marked down from $2500!) because the frame was slightly damaged. I said I needed to think about it and went to dinner with my husband. I eventually came to my senses and went back to our hotel and looked up the artist on the internet. I see that he has paintings that are the exactly the same (sans signature of BW) for $50-$100)! Of course having a sig of BW would be totally awesome - maybe in another life!

I think they've been mentioned a couple o' times here before. Gotta admit, they're not at all to my taste – and the fact that the dealer was going to halve the price of a piece of art on the basis of a damaged frame suggests someone else might share that opinion!
