This is nothing. The artist Hunter Biden can hide a million dollars of dirty money under the paint of his ‘artwork’.

Cézanne takes you down to a place by the river.

Scroll down on the original article. The face is sideways.

Reminds me of the episode of the Dick Van Dyke show when Dick and Laura bought a flea market portrait (signed ‘Artanis’) they thought might have been painted on top of Grant Wood’s “American Gothic.”

They scrubbed off the Artanis portrait with paint thinner to find what looked to be an authentic Wood underneath so, thinking they had bought a valuable masterpiece, they called in an art appraiser. The appraiser (played by Howard Morris, better known as Mayberry’s Ernest T. Bass) took one look and told them the Wood was a bad forgery but they had destroyed an original Frank Sinatra (who always signed his name on his art backwards so it would be critiqued without regard for the painter’s celebrity) to get to it.

We are fortunate that Van Goth was so contemplative in his troubled mind that he left us 36 self-portraits.

I only have one self-portrait, from when I was 19 and it is unfinished.

Maybe I should try it again fifty years later, having forsaken art for the need not to starve.

I know how to spell Van Gogh.   Van Goth is how the British mispronounce it.

I have long felt a connection with Van Gogh.   I was born 100 years to the day after Vincent Van Gogh.   I always embraced and studied art from the fourth grade into college.

When I realized that I would rather eat and have a roof over my head, I found other employment.

I dunno. He had a cute little place in the movie. Quaint. You don’t do quaint? ;)

I shouldn’t laugh; Hunter is a modern day genius of light and shade. Among the greats.🎨🖌️🏧
