The context of the following conversation is Quinn asked Austin to describe the painting since the picture he sent of it was not very clear.:
Quinn says Seriously, if Austin wants me to buy this painting, he's going to have to do much better..
The friend responds How do you mean?.
Quinn responds I really liked it, but I'm not sure I understand it yet. The picture he sent was awful..
The friend responds Could always ask for a description?.
Quinn responds Yeah I did in the end, but I'm still unsure..
The friend responds Ten grand is a lot for a painting, give it some thought..
