Geesh, Sharon.
I am aghast. I am not
that nice. All I do is paint. You too, I know!
Anyway, I made the highbrow comment to pique Marvin, who is not even reading this thread.
Moi! A second tier portrait painter!
Now you tell me.
Seriously - if we worry about judgment - whether we will be deemed Major, Minor or Mediocre, by other artists, bored internet surfers, art critics, the marketplace or history - dear God, does
that ever get in the way of getting good work done. I don't care at this point in life whether I'm "good" or not, I'm just trying to create paintings that I like.
And Enzie, you sure are stepping up to the bat - thank you for all your contributions to this place!
