An artistic faux pas

Quote:
Feel free to post your experiences.
Visitors to my home often make a beeline for the den, where my 'studio' is, to see what's on the easel. Recently, while I was working on my latest portrait people would often ooh and ahh over this detail or that.

At the same time, I had an experimental, fairly loose watercolor of a local business propped up nearby.

On spotting it, many people zeroed in on it, and said something to the effect, "ohhh, I love that!," forgetting all about the portrait.

I would respond with, "It's my van Gogh."

My wife Dolly, who fails to grasp how anyone could prefer such an artistic faux pas to the more realistic portrait effort would come back with, "I'm hoping it will soon be his van Gone."
