How wonderful that you were able to come to that conclusion, Cindy! Ars gratia artis. Art truly ought to exist for its own sake, imo, although, sadly, our modern culture tends to regard it as a popularity contest. Its value is in its own beauty (even though some art is not seen as beautiful to all people), not in a price that someone assigns. Art, in all its forms, is not a commodity to be traded; it is the expression of real truth. (Keats: "Beauty is truth, truth beauty," that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.') -- Cindy's Cottage
