The gallery are offering a substantial reward for the return of these paintings but will double it if the thieves agree to keep them! :innocent:

 :thinking:  I've seen worse....but then again I have seen better!
I am sure I am not alone when wondering how the price or class something so highly?

To be honest, to paint those spots the same size and so equaly spaced is very clever indeed. Unless done on a computor :innocent:

I knew I'd missed my vocation.  I can do dots  :innocent: I'm very good at joining them up too.  :roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim:

Sorry but I can't see any cleverness or intelligence in painting dots on a white board. Certainly very clever being able to con people into buying and displaying them though.

Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Truly, the art world is mad. It's like the Emperor's New Clothes.

what would be really good is to pop in and replace a masterpiece with a painting done buy a child or monkey and see the critics praise it!!

If only I hadn't given up, dot to dot, I'd be rich by now!

You can buy stick on dots. They'd all be the same size then.  :roflanim:

I bet I would not be able to put any dots in a straight line so I am impressed. I remember a painting in Leicester art gallery that was a  black line on a white background that was across the canvas until a few inches from the end, then it went rough and down, just like the painter had dropped the brush, now that was bad in my opinion..I do that every time I try to paint any straight line! :innocent:

Maybe that is what happened, Sandy and the painter just said, "Oh s*d it, I can;t be bothered to put it right."
