3. I know a lot of people that are bound to be feeling some serious glee
right now, they detest Wynn. Too bad about the Picaso though :/

4. It can be repaired. That's what conservators do.

5. Yeah, I know, but it seemed appropriate to point that out, since I was
discussing how the situation was gleeful.

6. The subject in the painting will remain self-satisfied for years to come.

The colors are just terrific. A perennial favorite.

Wynn's got some very sharp elbows there.

7. Wynn is an alcoholic and was abused by an artistic priest
when he was an adolescent

he's in rehab

so it's okay that he destroyed an irreplaceable work of art
