GUESS THE BOOK*

My Dears (in French): ( French phrases scattered throughout.)

I have discovered the greatest art talent of the twenty first century. Why has no one else but me spotted this talent?

Those who know me, know that I prefer buying and producing forged old masters to having anything to do with the ugly modern art admired by today's pretentious art critics.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered first class talent. Bohemians relaxed in a street cafe, smoking and looking attractive. A pallet of greens and golds, echoing the green from Absinthe and the mellow yellow of relaxation.

Beautiful, some room sized. A new voice, with a new perspective, rifting on the master of the masters, the impressionists. Don't you just love those paintings that are both gorgeous and easy to forge. I stick to the old masters, where the art challenge is to forge in oils and canvas circa 1400.

So why has no one noticed this talented paragon? Well, she is a woman. Art is still in the dark ages about women artists.

She paints using acrylics, which the art snobs consider to be lower class art. Of course you read the book by Dick Francis called By The Hilt, where the short jockey again teaches us, this time about using acrylics. I have nothing to add to his analysis.

Why the game?

I want to keep the price down until after I have bought one or two.
