I must admit, I WAS a bit taken aback by (and I use this rather harsh word with affection) your "assault" on my work. I've never yet seen anyone else's efforts in the forum treated so radically and abstractly.
I misunderstood and thought that you had asked me to do this in your private email to me. And don't worry I will not do that to you again. It would be really helpful if, when posting a painting for critique, the artist CLEARLY asks for what they want...i.e., "I need help with the composition, skintones, background, anatomy, etc."

I was kind of hoping for some positive feedback on things I might actually have done well.
Fair enough. I made a wrong assumption. But from now on, please SAY this if/when you ever send me another picture in the future.

It has taken me a lifetime to learn how to paint. And I resent the time and energy it takes to translate this knowlege into words as much as you resent my having done it.

...enough said...let's drop this subject and get back to our easels
