Today’s “Find It” is in Burl’s mouth

Found it.

OK, I understand Mrs. Sheldrake’s frustration, at having their genuine oil paintings described as “reproductions.”

However… I’m also having a hard time swallowing the idea that Mr. Sheldrake is the world’s highest paid storage company regional manager EVER…

and owns the original of Van Gogh’s arguably most famous work.. “The Starry Night.”

It would probably take at least a quarter of a billion dollars to persuade the Museum of Modern Art to give it up….

and yet, unpretentious folk that they are, the Sheldrakes just hang it casually over their mantel.

They’re not worried about candle flames, fireplace smoke, or raised glasses of red wine….

And it’s been kindly placed at a convenient height for Joy to walk over and feel the “genuine” bumpy texture with her canape smeared fingers.

What down-to-earth billionaires!

My fine art came from the University bookstore a hundred thousand years ago: some have little tears at the corners from the tape that held them to the wall.

Hope the Sheldrakes were smart enough to hide their coin collection…!

Susan above mentioned pretentiousness…..perhaps the Sheldrakes could let the paintings speak for themselves rather than posting the artist’s names under the paintings?

Original works of art by Joe Van Gogh and Roberto Picasso.
