Pete Boruta was from Trenton, New Jersey and lived on Nottingham Way. He painted hundreds of clown oils on canvas. He was somewhat famous in the area and donated a lot of his paintings for various charity causes for fund raisers. I have seen values (prices paid) range from $59.00 to about $250.00. I would suggest to keep the paintings.

Mr. Boruta has passed on and numerous paintings of his were lost in a house fire of his home.

The potential value of the paintings are somewhat limited because of the painting topic. You have to be a clown fan and then an oil painting fan.

Most of Mr. Boruta's paintings are clearly marked in front on the painting and normally there is a sticker on the back with his address and other hand writings such as "original Pete Boruta painting."
