haha, you and susan were funny today...smiles.
I'm not sure these fakes are such a blow to the art world... to its dignity, perhaps, that part that makes a fortune from the artist.

ReplyDeleteApparently 'Sunflowers' is a van Gogh's 'trade mark'
There's a greater competition in yours and Pat's though

Yes, to its dignity surely. A living artist makes his fortune as Picasso did during his life-time. Otherwise the 'investor' makes his pile

Wonderfully crafted series of haiku on "sunflowers". Love the way how you bring a little history in it.
