This Painting Is Worth How Much

This Painting is Worth How Much! By Elton Camp It’s called “1957-J no.2” and done by Clyfford Still Art experts say that, if sold, thirty million’s the bill If, like me, the career of this great artist you missed He’s a famed post-World War abstract expressionist “Famed” is how he’s described by those in the know But I am forced to admit I never heard of him though But it seems to me that if the painting’s that great Then a much more sensible name it should rate As an art critic I admit that I am sure not qualified But I couldn’t believe it when the picture I spied For it seems to me that the artist was in a rush And just found a good place to clean his brush If you want to see the painting go to http://www.scribd.com/doc/77620917/This-Painting-is-Worth-How-Much

Thanks for reading. This is the painting that a woman recently damaged while it was hanging in a museum. Elton
