Blanche has an art exhibition at a gallery. It is very abstract art and one of the artists is an incredibly unpleasant man. A few days later Sophia says that he is dying at the hospital she is volunteering in. They decide to get a painting to pay for the roofing. But at the end he survives.

A fun episode. Loved how at the beginning Rose made a snappy remark to Dorothy, usually it is the other way around.

The auction was kind of funny as well. Not very original, but funny. And how it all ended was pretty good. A great idea for a happy ending for everyone.

I love this episode. Hilarious, with some classic punchlines and one-liners. The plot is kinda strange though; a new roof in exchange for a painting? Yeah right! Not in my hemisphere.

I'm more with Rose. I'd like something I velvet, or perhaps a smudge of a creamsickle on what Jasper DeKimmel attempts to paint. Tony Steedman is forced to play a truly horrible human being as the narcissistic, judgmental artist whose painting is the subject of their desire as a purchase after believing that he's dying. They decide to go to a sale of his painting which will help pay for a new roof. It's a messy premise, but they know that after waiting for Blanche's ceiling to cave in, they need to take care of the roof immediately!

Rose gets one of her funnier lines when she explains why she has two buckets. Dorothy's crack in reference to the "twinky" defense of San Francisco politician Dan White is in dubious taste. I love Sophia's story reference to Sardinia and her reaction to Blanche's inquiry.

Some of the lines feel a bit forced as if they are trying to milk laughs out of every line, although the auction sequence is very funny in its spoof of how people are at such events. And then there's the fact that they can afford up to $10,000 on bidding on DeKimmel's painting but couldn't come up with it for the roof. Something truly is rotten on the sands of Miami Beach.
