I was so tired by the time I finished that I just fell into bed! The painting sold by Christies is awful ( in my opinion!) and it always astounds me what people are persuaded to spend their obscene amounts of money on! If I had the money, I would rather have your Aleppo piece as it certainly packs a punch. Thank you for the step by steps.

I saw one which was 3 stripes of colour, said to hubs, I could do that, he said yes, but nobody knows who you are in the art world :-( If I could buy your painting, I would and then sell it on and give those proceeds over too. Take care lovely lady.

As for the moral dilemma, Do you spend fifty odd million on a piece of Art ? Or do you try to help others in a constructive way ? I think that we would all probably go for the latter...
