Can somebody tell me what is going on in this painting over the mantle?

That must make for quite a “conversation piece”!

If I knew who painted it I could venture a guess….......I’m pretty sure it isnt’ what you think it is, but I suspect…..........I hate socialist Mexican painters, but I respect them.  I think.

I actually like the stainless steel stair railing….. but not with all the rest of the stainless, and then the remainder of “traditional” doors and stuff.

No, I’m pretty sure the old peasant dude is taking it from a big carrot and cupcake.

That is what I see too. It also looks like there is a black guy giving it to the cupcake…

He’s carrying a big sack on his back.  I’ve seen this painting before and it’s driving me crazy because I don’t remember where I saw it or who the artist is.

The artwork is by Diego Rivera.  It’s called the Flower Carrier.

Thank you both.  That was driving me nuts and for some reason Dali kept coming to my mind…

I just don’t know what this has to do with the property, but the picture has been up for five days and it’s the only photo. Maybe the Realtor uploaded the wrong jpeg.

That picture is still up!  I love how the page says “Copyrighted Material” and this Realtor is publicly displaying it for all to see.

Dang! I missed seeing this as the photo. It’s now a regular description with typical b class realtor photos. I wish I could read what the excerpt was :(

The pic is still up on ziprealty and is enlarged. You can make out the text there. I don’t know if this will work unless you log in first, but here it is.

Thanks SoCal… being the RE geek that I am, I do happen to have a zip log in. It was still difficult to read and I was expecting it to be an excerpt out of some epic or classic novel, but from what I could read, it seemed like it may have been a book about the Rolling Stones???? I don’t get it?????

I have been watching that one for years.  I used to call it “Prince’s House” due to the purple and animal print decor.

That’s an awsome house.  I just looked at a little one just down the hill from it that has been on the market for over a year and the price marched down from $900k all the way to $500 where it went pending.

This is perhaps the worst listing in Irvine.


1 LIVEOAK Irvine, CA 92604, Price: $1,400,000


First, the description is written in ALL CAPS, and every other work is misspelled.

Second, the owners bought in 2008, and they think they can flip it for a $200,000 profit.

Third, there are no pictures.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFULL FABULOUS PROPERTY, WITH ALL STAINLESS APPLIANCES ,SUBZERO, PROFESSIONAL STYLE RANGE AND CENTER ISLAND, ALL ON NATURAL STON FLOORING…OPEN KITCHEN TO FAMILY CAN EAT OR ENTER TO FORMAL DINING ROOM , WITH FRENCH DOORS . 2 BEDROOM SUITS ARE ON MAIN LEVEL WITH MASTER BEAD ROOM, AND 2 BEAD ROOM PLUS A LARG BONUS ROOM ON THE 2TH FLOWER .. WITH LOVELY POOL AND SPA

If this property sells, the realtor stands to make $84,000 at 6%, $42,000 at 3% (split commission).
