Laughing out loud. A pet peeve of mine is that people always ask artists to donate their work, artists generally pay to display their work, most artists (97% or so) work outside their art for dollars, making little from the sale of their art. Go ask your dentist or your mechanic to donate their work for your auction/ event and see what they say!
Two more:
– “Hell, I could do that.”
– “I really like this still life. Could you change the shade of the peaches to match the cushions on my dining room chairs?”
