" game is not about worldly success. The real game is between oneself and the canvas,
to end up with a canvas that is no less beautiful than the empty canvas is to begin with."

...PHILLIS CONIGLIO of Massapequa!!!

"Art is a potent social tool. Almost magically, ownership bestows status, turns nobodies into somebodies
and makes those somebodies look classy and smart or, at the very least, rich. Yes, art is about ideals and
beauty and all that. But it is also about the power of possession, the sovereignity of taste. Deep down, it appeals
to the royalist in us all ...art becomes what it may always really be:not the potentially transformative vision
of romantic lore, but an emblem of preciousness; a badge of attainment; a collectible to have, hold and marvel at;
an enviable jewel in a fortunate somebody's crown." -

"The hardest part of a painting is getting the money for it, which never gets any easier no matter how
