It took me about a half hour, but I did it.

It took you half an hour to google some famous paintings? man, either you type slower than my grandmother, or your google-fu is weak. Nothing to be proud of here.

Is that different artistic representations of your would-be girlfriend?

Great. Now let's see you do a master study of one of those (or even just explain to me why they work compositionally) and actually do something impressive.

This is the reason I'm not an "artist".I cannot intellectually deduce the compositional elements of emotion and thought....IE: I can't make up enough flowery bullshit to describe some stupid ass painting to convince someone to pay a ridiculous amount for it.How the fuck does that sell for $43 MILLION? Seriously, how the fuck can anyone feel that is worth that much money? How much of a con artist was the painter, or whoever started this piece's rise to ridiculous expense? Fuck painting. Fuck art. I'm going into the forest to take pretty pictures.

43 million!? It looks like someone just stuck a band-aid with the squared edges onto a piece of paper, and plunged it into some old watercolor water that had A LOT of orange pigment dissolved in it.

So much for any hope of an intelligent discussion. 0/10 -- would not trust with a Crayola crayon, let alone a Waterhouse painting or a Van Gogh.

I'd actually be interested to see you do this. I'm clueless about this sort of thing; I'm just lucky that I'm verbose enough to make it look like I know what I'm talking about to the uninformed. Anyway, educate us!

My apologies. It was estimated to sell for $43 million at Christie's New York Auction in 2012.It actually sold for $86.8 million.
