Steady gaze News service Bloomberg reported that Haggerty would have made $25,000 if the painting was sold.

$25K can buy a lot of beer. Whadda dummy.

” A London dealer, Offer Waterman, had been interested in buying the picture, Bloomberg cited the complaint as saying. “

Looks like Waterman made Haggarty an “Offer” he couldn’t refuse....

Never understood the fascination with art, even though all I did as a kid was draw.

Thanks for the pic - I like that one. Maybe not $1.3 mil worth, but I like it.

Nice color sense. Such bold strokes.

I have the limited production art casting.

A fool and his Monet are soon parted.

Obviously he should have been entrusted with a Jackson Pollock work. If he’d have puked on it, no one would even have noticed. And no one would have stolen it either way.

Did you hear about the robbery at the Louvre? The getaway
vehicle didn't get far. The perps didn't have Monet for
Degas to make the Van Gogh.
