John, he has often stated that he never intends to marry. In fact, he broke up with one girlfriend simply because she admitted in an interview that she wanted to marry someday and have children.

Now, he's got a new girlfriend again. One wonders if he'll ever get married. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote : John, beauty is a fascinating topic from many angles. For example, I can totally see why people say that George Clooney is very handsome, etc. But there are other actors who I find far more attractive. Go figure!

But I imagine, the artistry lies in combining different colors, along with the shades of dark and light. I remember one painting style which makes the portrait look crystal clear. I don't how it's done. But I appreciate it's because I can't see that clearly without my glasses. :) ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote : John, I understand what you're saying. Van Gogh is not one of my favorite artists and it has nothing to do with his mental situation. I am also mystified as to why some artists' works fetch such a high price. OTOH, I walk into an art gallery and immediately find the work that I absolutely love. Though I don't understand my preferences, I trust them. And enjoy...

From what I understand, when he painted his self-portrait, he was already insane. And, if he were alive today, he'd be astonished that his paintings are now valued in millions of dollars. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : I seriously doubt he'll sell them (he might give away a few to friends). The best of them will probably end up in his presidential library for the public to see. In any case, if art collectors were to get hold of them, they'd be valued only as curiosities. They're hardly works of artistic genius. Salyavin, It all depends if he can sell these artworks for millions during his lifetime, and if the art collectors in the future would value them like those of Van Gough and Monet. But I would have to give him credit for expanding his creative talents after leading the US into expensive war campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : George W.
