I've been offered the opportunity to purchase an original Michael Hussar oil painting from his "Alla Prima" series. Asking price is $10,000. I'm really contemplating it, afterall he is my favorite artist, hands down and i don't have an original oil from him. Got some og drawings and several 1/1 giclees but no og oil. Please talk me out of doing this....that's a lot of coin:-/

You're in a tough situation, 10K is a lot. If you need someone to talk you out of it, I think, maybe you don't really want it, so don't. On the other hand you know his work isn't going to get any less expensive. If he is your favorite artist and you don't make a move now you might regret it later. Think five years down the road. Will you still love it? If your tastes change you would probably be able to recoup. Sleep on it and good luck.

Like everyone said, if you think it is your chance to get one before you get priced out go for it, so you eat at home a little more or kids dont go to college.

the other question you need to ask yourself is how much do you like the painting of his. Are you just considering it because it's on OG? I've found myself contemplating that for other artists and realizing most of the time I wasn't absolutely enthralled with the piece but was giving it consideration just to have an OG.
while my considerations were much lower in price I think it still applies. for 10K I'd hope that you'd like it so much that you wouldn't need to ask us to talk you out of it

thanks for the reply guys. Not gonna do it, gonna hold off. 10k is a bit too much to drop for me right now, on one piece.
