The nice thing about opinions is that they are common and they always please their creator. Art can be ironic, tacky, subdued, outrageous or common place, as well as give us a glimpse of the individual creator's views, but above all, Virgil's style puts common place subjects into uncommon situations. Ironically mediocre? Art? You be the judge, but it is unusual. Personally, if I don't like something, I don't buy it. "And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his (Adam) mighty heart. Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves, 'It's pretty, but is it art?'
