I alway tell my clients to buy art that they love rather than what they think will be an investment.

In that case, I’m glad I bought that “Dogs playing poker on black velvet.” I’m saving up to get a similar work, “Dogs playing pool on black velvet.”

Velvet paintings are what is known in the art business as “kitsch”.

Wikipedia has a good article on the subject, and by no means should you feel insulted by the term.
