Looked at a painting by Monet that was supposed to be worth a bunch.

The owners stuck their noses up at me when I said it looked like the paper laid down where he put his brushes, paints, and coffee cup while painting a real painting then signed it. They said I had no appreciation of impressionist painting.

A great uncle was an impressionist painter. He put the chemicals together that made foam in a frame over a fire so it would bubble. On one a bug flew into the foam so he painted zebra stripes on the bug leaving the rest of the piece the brown foam colors. There were two that bubbles were the same and looked alike. He bolted them together and titled it "Stereo."

Farrah Faucet used to get naked, put paints on her body, then roll around on a bed sheet. She framed and sold all she could make.

Seems the story behind the painting is more important than the actual painting.
