I have a large Mary Botto painting approximately 26" x 39". It is a scene of a seaside village, but not the sea. The painting depicts a view from under 3 large high arches as one would look out at some scattered old buildings from under the arches. In the background is a small vague image of a sailboat, and in the foreground are 5 people without detail.

I couldn't find info on a painting I acquired at a thrift shop... A Mary Botto. I tried everything under her name.
I came across an antiques shop list of people (about 15 or more) who were looking for this artist. I gave up for awhile. Then when I tried to find that "antiques shop" website, I couldn't find it. Here's how I found what I was looking for... I have an appros. 39x50 oil with a windmill in the center. This time I searched "windmill botto" and found the picture I was looking for, only it was an 16x18" with the windmill and portions of the other structures I was looking for. I'm guessing the 16x18 was a "dry run" so to speak. Pick your subject and start there. Good luck! And... if you have the means, try to alert the others who are looking for this artist.

  I am also looking for info on Mary Botto.My Painting has a twist. It is signed by 2 artist Mary Botto abd Anthony Ausgang. It has a title and a date Freak n Out In Paris 3/92. I can find info on Anthony Ausgang (some movie stars collect his work) who is describe as a lowbrow artist and his contribution is obvious of a colorful cat , and the backfground scene must be Mary Botto. But that is all I know

I've too just purchased a large Mary Botto painting of a Paris street scene. The price was right, the colors lively and the painting well executed.
The signiture matches exactly with several others I've seen on the web ... but my guess is that she was from the "Starving Artist" ranks of painters and painted hundreds, or perhaps even thousands of paintings in the style we all seem to be drawn to and enjoy.
The paintings are what they are ... affordable, yet beautiful and are worth our admiration ... which is why I purchased mine. My advice is for purchasers of her work is to just enjoy and not give too much thought to dollar value!
[ Another thought ... her name could be an acronym ..RE: "M"...many "A"... artists "R"... rendering .... ect!]
