It is common practice to save for a rainy day and this is done by investing surplus funds. There are several outlets for investment – mutual funds, shares, gold, property, to name a few. Investing in these instruments has an element of risk. The only safe place is PPF and fixed deposits in nationalized Banks. In any walk of life those who take risks normally are the winners. But it is the wise who will first study the ins and outs before investing in instruments that have an element of risk.
While those mentioned above are common outlets for investment some invest in antiques and paintings. While investing in paintings there are a few points that need to be taken into account.
Buying paintings of famous painters such as Picasso or Husain may not yield as they are well-known. There is no mention of their paintings’ value going up as years go. However they are bought just to adorn living rooms of the rich and famous and not with a view to investing in them.
Works of new artists could be a good investment as these paintings may not be priced high. These are risky purchases but buying could be done after a thorough study is made about these artists and their success at various exihibitions. It would be pertinent to find out where they would have displayed their art. If they are at famous galleries then that would be a hint that their paintings are good.

I love paintings. I have some paintings that didn't come from a well-known artist. However, the paintings come from the different country and created by the villagers. I am more fascinated with such work of art in other countries.
May be you could just find out at what price the painting would be bought from you - not that you want to sell it. You could fix a price and see who would be interested. For that you first need to get the progress made by the painter/artist.
I am not sure if I can do that. Most of the paintings that I got are from my co-volunteers. Most of the paintings are from Tanzania, Africa. I guess it is also a good idea to know if the paintings are pricey. In case someone will ask me about the cost, then I would be able to answer him or her.
If you did a search you may be able to get the Artist himself. It would be interesting to know more about the artist, the progress he has made and the current price of your paintings
I am not sure if I can find the source of the painting. All I can remember, my friend bought from a souvenir street lane in that country. The artist is a local villager and the paintings are just showcased on the street. Hopefully, I could find it through Mr. Google about it.
Wish you good luck in your search This is an interesting pursuit.
