What medium?
I prefer this to the Da Vinci:
Georges Rouault
Oil on canvas
It's just sitting in the Smith College Museum of Art
What do you think the odds are of you selling a painting for $450 million?
Don't get me wrong. I'm pleased that you are painting or are inspired by Da Vinci but do you think Da Vinci painted so that one day some schmuck would buy his artwork for absurd prices after death?
Oil on canvas will eventually degrade. The art world is a fraud. We will eventually die. Let's pray that our poops are serene and that we can find some peace.

with inflation so hot these days maybe tomorrow jk but I dont know the us dollar is declining so maybe one day haha. when 1$ today is worth 1M in tomorrow money lol but probably never in todays money but money will be useless like Elon says in the future so w/e
"Don't get me wrong. I'm pleased that you are painting or are inspired by Da Vinci but do you think Da Vinci painted so that one day some schmuck would buy his artwork for absurd prices after death?"
probably not but I don't think any schmuch can get a da Vinci painting

I guess I don't miss poker that much cause there are lots of things to learn and study still. I haven't been playing much except getting some free gifts n free tournaments tickets, I also sold 800$ worth of pokemon cards to a buddy but I gave him a good deal cause its Christmas n its his bday soon so he was happy with the deal. I probably coulda gotten 650+ if I eBay or marketplace it but what I got I was happy cause my buddy and I are happy. anyways I am done collecting pokemon cards for the most part except when I get some to give to the next generations for gifts n open it with them for the memories and fun. opening booster packs is so -ev money wise(most of the time unless u get luckyyyy) but its + life ev .

imo all great painters do it for the love of painting n not money but they do sell their paintings for money though. Some get paid handsomely

just like how Italy had the 4 great masters from renaissance, china had the 4 masters of the ming dynasty. Don't get me wrong many more greats from the west n east but I like those except my knowledge of Donatello is limited.
