To throw away this painting - with pic

[Rosebean92]

Bought a lovely Victorian flat with my partner however the previous occupant left this truly awful painting. Am I being unreasonable to just throw it away? Partner seems to think we could sell it! I just want it gone as it’s giving me nightmares just looking at it.

How big is it? Can I have it?

Are you dead?

😳 whoah that’s one freaky picture

Just chuck it. So much bad art in the world, you aren't losing anything by getting rid of one more crappy effort.

The demon will post instead, after consuming OP's soul.

Excuse me, I am the artist and I am VERY OFFENDED at this thread. I will be back to further express my displeasure after medication time.

Looks like a nightmarish relic from a student art show that got deliberately 'lost in the move' to me... 😂 Stick it on freecycle or accidentally put your foot through it.

have you tried one of those google image reverse things? it might be worth something?

What if OP hasn't returned because now she's STUCK IN THE PAINTING?!

That's given me flashbacks to the painting in The Witches... shudder

God that's horrific.

Bit like one of Phoebe's pics on FRIENDS! (Sorry if someone has already posted something about Phoebe's pics. Can't be arsed to RTFT!)

Put salt on it and burn it....

wait..

I watch too much Supernatural....
lol

Am I strange? No living room space for phoebes pic but yet I can’t hate it.

You know what happens if you look at it three times one after the other. Don't you ..?

Why would you?!

I can’t unsee it after one mere glance!

(swiftly runs back out of thread)

Horrible & creepy!

I follow a Facebook page called "Terrible Art in Charity Shops" - looking forward to seeing this one pop up sometime soon

Who would ever have thought “Terrible Art In Charity Shops” would become the new “Cancel the Cheque” in 2021?!

@SprogletsMum

No matter how many times you sell that painting it will end up back on your wall in its place

Brilliant ..... it's many years since I've seen those sort of films...

It’s a HELL no from me

shudders creep AF, i second using holy water!

'Whoever doesn't get Glynnis gets Glenyth!'

Horrific thing. I'd sell it though - someone will want it.

I wouldn't risk burning it...

The evil spirits will escape and haunt you for all eternity.

I'm surprised at some of the advice, hence my posting. I don't like the painting but looks relatively well done and it has a signature (tho can't be made out).
Not sure of the legalities - as it was left by previous owners does it become part of the sale?
If it does now belong to you then I would take it to be valued - years ago I took a fan to Sothebys to ask their opinion/value, a free service. (I lived in London, it wasn't worth much, but their opinion was free & they did take time and look at it properly)
If you have an auction house near you perhaps ask their opinion first.
(if the service is free). You never know it might be worth a lot, best to find out first.

I’d burn that urgh what an awful painting. Would give me nightmares
