She said "Jimmy, your problem is that you're evaluating it with your rational mind. You're very logical/rational and that's good, but in order to appreciate art, you have to put that part of your mind away. Art's value is in how it makes you FEEL when you view it."
It was a very helpful comment.

I always tend to think about art as thats a pretty $20,000.00 hanging on the wall.
