Please do not think I am being rude about the work, this is just my opinion. I don't claim to be as skilful as the artists, it is just that I do not aspire to be like them. I can see that there is real craft skill in the paintings, but I feel that they are artless.
I hope this is seen as constructive critisism. I do not wish to upset anyone.

Hi,
I think that any reason for not wanting to join the forum is a personal matter, and I would not have wanted to know about it if it was not because of your hints to the matter.
I would be very interested to know something more about the "unintentional kitsch" that you mention. This would make an interesting subject for me.
Basically I try to be able to paint the way I want, and what I want. So I hope that the weakness is in my choice and not in my capability. If it is so, I will be able to benefit from your knowledge,......if you choose to join.
