The Artist

An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings on display at that time.
- I have good news and bad news - the owner replied.
- The good news is that a gentleman enquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death. When I told him it would, he bought all 15 of your paintings.
- That`s wonderful! - the artist exclaimed.
- And what`s the bad news?
- The guy was your doctor.
