The canvas did it justice. Only one picture, that Something New his agent had been whingeing about. He carried it out to his car. Tomorrow his four-year-old daughter would make her debut into the art world - and she wouldn't have a clue.
Clods of colour on canvas. Graham picked it up. He knew he shouldn't do this, shouldn't even consider it, but work had been so slow lately. Commissions reduced to a trickle, inspiration and will-power declining together with the offers. He had a frame somewhere in his studio. He rummaged among the clutter until he found it.

Given what passes for art these days, I’d say the four-year-old’s work would fit right in.

So many masterpieces look like they could have been painted by children. But art is art, regardless of who created it. Hope it fetches a good price.
