Greg, I think you made a Freudian slip; you wrote that the leaves were covered in 'pain.' I appreciate your appreciation for the suffering of the leaves in the painting.

Nah, the only one suffering here is the purchaser, from adding to his or her burden of material things. I just read a statement by a Christie's official and like him, I am delighted people are spending hundreds of millions on art again after having their lives so compromised by the transient market collapse during which they refocused their efforts on stablizing their portfolios. it must have been tough.

Yea, it's nice to see the CEO's and Bank Managers raiding pension funds once again.

It was touch and go there for a bit.

I mean, they worked their way through college and some of them even got really good grades. They're only taking what they have coming to them.

The rest of us are just suckers for choosing a different life path.

Here is a scan of the Picasso I sold recently. I know it is ok because I sold it. Of course it went for substantially less than the one yesterday at Christie's.
