Which one of these London Zoo felines are an oil on board composition, and which one is a photograph?

Bjorn,
It is not easy to tell is it. What a remarkably talented guy.

I think it was a rhetorical question LOL.
Some great paintings though.

Wade,
you're right it's not easy, and I agree with you that his talend is indeed remarkable. He reminds me of that British painter who's name I can't remember, he made those stunning African wildlife paintings.

Bjorn,
I don't know whom you specifically mean but Martin Ridley or Ben Waddams come to mind.

Radar,
What do you mean "rhetorical question"? Of course it was meant to be answered. In my mind a "rhetorical question" would have been, "If you compared the photo of the lion, to a photo taken by some putz of a circus tent in a snow storm, which one should get a mention in the Monte Carlo Picture Festival?" It is obvious which on should, and there for there is no answer.

Exactly. That is why I am Mr. January.
Your son and daughter-in-law have already acquired their autographed copy; are you interested as well?

"Mr. January,"
I swear you are as cherry today, after a year and a half, as you were your first day in show biz. Let me see if I can help you understand. Dominick understands, and Casey said he has tried, but you just don't seem to get it.
Here's how it works. You were a participant in what is known as a Monte Carlo "competition" with 50 people participating. That means there was 1 winner and 49 honorable mentions. Were you the winner? If not, you and 48 other folks were honorable mention. That mean's you lost, but you did participate. I only collect memorabilia from winner's. There is not enough space in the world to store memorabilia from losers. Sorry, but I am sure Adam would give me his copy if I felt the need to start a Close but no Cigar Collection.
