I like your turn of phrase Peter T "stupid vandalism against fragile beauty" how very aptly put, sir. What destruction of beauty occurs with the loss of a painting. Only copies to remind us of the beauty of the original. The price is nothing, the value everything. Powerfull things words, and the ability to use them well, which is obvious in your case. How I wish I were as eloquent in their use. How I wish I could easily erase some that I have used recently. How easy it is to offended or upset someone unintentionally. Improper use of words is as much a form of vandalism as the theft of the painting, "Stupid vandalism against fragile beauty" I shall treasure that phrase, and remember it daily; words as well as paintings. Thank you Peter. Yours,Aye. Dave
