I like Monet's paintings and have seen quite a few of them in London and Paris, including 2 of the others that go with that one (originally it was meant to be one of a set of 3 or 4).

They are quite stunning when seen in real life - but that's a obscenely silly amount of money all the same...

Well, the locost way would be a 3 inch strip of gaffer tape to each corner. Although I think you may struggle to afford even that now.

Would I be hauled to the courts if I were to produce a book on how to create a Monet for £250 and hang it?

And then start endless debates about how its not really possible to do it for £250 unless you used old canvas, and crayons instead of paint.

And then theres the whole WBP vs OBP debate*

*(water based painting vs Oil based painting)

And what about that dodgy art supplies dealer that doesn't send out your paint brushes even though you paid him 2 months ago.
