Created in 1951, Mark Rothko’s painting, “NO. 6 (Violet, Green and Blue),” sold in 2014 for an unbelievable $186 Million, making it the highest price ever paid for a piece of abstract art.
“What the fuck?”
“Are you kidding me?”
My granddaughters’ finger painting, hung on my wall, is better!

Hey You Guys!!!!
Who remembers learning about phonics on a children's show known as 'The Electric Company"? Back in the seventies on PBS there was an educational show by this name that had famous actors like Rita Moreno and Morgan Freeman and a few others too. This was a show that taught us the rules of phonics and sounding out letters and words. There were fun skits live and animated throughout the show showing and telling each skill. There were lessons on blends as well as on hard and soft sounds. This show made learning to read fun. This was one show that I watched, I believe made me a reader for life for just see for now I am a book reviewer.

Recently, I spoke with a family member who I struggled to catch up with for a longer timespan than I would’ve liked and what struck me was how societal templates filled in on successive days routinely suck our time into a vacuum of seemingly infernal deficiency.

I agree maybe your granddaughter can get 188 million
Hehe, she's a natural! nice work.
I gotta agree with you. Your granddaughter's painting is wayyyyyy more beautiful!
OMG 186 mil. What a total loss for something that appears to be worth maybe, 186.00 dollars. Nice review, Gerald.
Have to say I agree! Vibrant and interesting - loads better 😁
Sometimes I just shake my head. Truth is, I like both. But your granddaughter's finger painting holds a lot more meaning.
Damn right! Well written grandpa. Bet your granddaughter is proud of you too.
Yes, I agree. Well done.
Haha! Like you, I am NOT a Rothko fan. Your granddaughter has promise as a future artist.
