I have two large-scale original paintings by Wyland that I would like to donate to my kids' university. One is a Chinese watercolor, Polar Bear, appraised at $10,300, and the other is a sumi watercolor, Orca Breach, appraised at $6450. Both were purchased in January 2019. Since they are valued over $5000, I need a new appraisal for donation purposes. What is the fair market value of these paintings, and what are the timing and cost implications for obtaining a qualified appraisal?
