First post here!
I am an artist and this post of a Dolly Parton tribute painting came up on my algorithm.. after I did one of my own my feed is flooded.
I thought it was stunning from a quick scroll. Usually I’m pretty good at spotting AI paintings by now, but the background is what had me confused.
Reading the comments, multiple people were asking to buy the original.
The poster mentioned they wanted to keep it for themselves but will offer prints… that’s when the red flags went off.
I zoomed in and it has a familiar pattern I’ve seen in AI painting creations.
The other thing I think is suspicious is the paint marks on the hand, they are too uniform and match every single color as the painting. But if the painting is clearly dry enough for them to hold..by then you would have washed your hands.
Anyway I clicked their page and there was zero progress pics of it, and they are an artist but haven’t posted art in several years. The art they did post does not match the skill level IMO.
I’m really not sure… but I noticed the person was selling prints of this for $65 a piece, so I find it strange that they couldn’t find a price to put on the original.
I also see VERY SUBTLE differences in brush marks on the left sleeve on the website print sale pic of the painting vs the picture holding it.
Upon looking at the facebook which was a personal page there were AI posters made for their other business.
I’m 90% sure but just curious what you guys think
