Painting

Claude Monet has a lot of paintings and he is also considered to be the father of impressionism. I was thinking of buying an oil painting from this website that I bought from in the past and I'm having a hard time deciding which painting. Assuming that size and color scheme do not matter, which would you buy? Check out http://www.overstockart.com/monrep.html and let me know what you would recommend for me...

Is it possible for art to be bad, or it simply not to your taste?
What is bad art?

Is some art like the Emperors new clothes? There's nothing there but people haven't the nerve to say it, because there worried about being seen as barbarians?

I am new to painting, and I noticed in the art store that there are 2 oz tubes of acrylic paint ( Globe brand ) that are close to $10 each. What makes these so expensive? Are they better to paint with than cheaper paints ( Liquitex )?

I really like Rivera's work and the history behind it. Any suggestions for others? Besides Frida...

I have a painting idea that would require my acrylics (it's all I have, and I have TONS) - to be thick enough to paint on with a knife. I know there's products out there, gels etc. to use for this purpose, but I don't have the 10-15$ to obtain these products. Are there cheaper alternatives? ie. house hold products? I was thinking something like toothpaste maybe, but haven't tried it yet.

I was commisioned to paint a cast allumimum cast sea turtle.This is a huge chariety/social event like the cows in Chicago. Well it has ended up being all trouble. The man that bought the turtle gave it tohis ex-wife to paint. Well I didn't know anything more so I painted it. when I took it to the gallery I was told unless he paid me a minimum of so many dollars it would not be used.When he wastold that he apparently called the Gallery owner and totally absued her verbally.I am still shocked and horrified. I called him and offered to buy the turtle from him. He agreed. Then he called back and said his bosses would pay me so take him the turtle. this is what I must decide. 1. take the turtle collect the money. 2. Keep the turtle and sponser it myself ( knowing he will go insane) 3. Take him the turtle with all my work removed.4. If he sponsers the work I will feel ashamed to be connected to him. I don't like being around anything so trashy as him consider so out ofcontrol.

maybe I'd send my CV to Bernini, da Vinci, Rubens, van Gogh, Schiele, Duchamp, Dali.. Okay, I'm being greedy. lol.

I'd go for Sir Peter Paul Rubens! Have always been a great admirer of his works.. I love his strokes, so smooth & gentle & tender, I almost fell in love with all his models! :))) But well perhaps I should go for Piet Mondrian, I'd like to understand his works better, as right now I can't really understand what's behind those squares of colours.

Alright. So now, tell me your answers!! :)

It's the creative thought process when you actually think of the ideas, rather than the actions of actually writing the story/poem, painting the painting that i'm talking about. Thanks.
