What is bad about painting a barn red in the south?

What is the value and authenticity of a H Hargrove painting depicting a winter scene with a red barn stone front fence and an old horse drawn wagon sitting in front of the barn in the snow?

• Answer:

  I have a Hargrove painting. It pictures part of the front of a barn and a wagon on the side of the barn. It measures 12"x16" without the frame. with the frame it's 20"x24". I paid $55 at an antique store. It is signed on the front and also on the back by Hargrove. I had it appraised and they said that at an art gallery they would ask $1,250-$2,500 and they valued mine at $1,500. I hope this gives you some kind of idea on how much yours is worth. I have this same painting - it's a 12/ x 16 on canvas and is signed just "Hargrove". I have had this painting for about 20+ years. I do know know if it is worth anything or not.
