Thanks SB - that is a great fable and makes a great point!

If one is not proficient in at least the basics of drawing should one be posting the work under "Unveiling's, for the Seasoned Pro"?

To degrade another artist's work is definitely not a sign of professionalism and a practice that I refuse to participate in, no matter how low the blow.
The artist represented by 'A stroke of Genius' have to submit their work to be considered by Cynthia and definitely have to have attained certain standards to be considered for representation. To question the drawing ability of one of this organizations artist is equal to questioning Cynthia's experience in selecting of what caliber work she is representing on her site.
I think in all fairness that there should be a better distinction between the Unveiling sections. The Novice/student/emerging artist section is fine and well defined .
There should be a Professional Artist section, one for all those who are practicing professionally and are making a living selling portraiture.
Finally a Masters category (or Seasoned Pro), which is exclusively reserved for those who have received overall recognition within the field of portraiture.
I am sorry to have veered off track Marvin. Regardless of how we each work, each and everyone of us deserves to be treated with respect and I had to address this.
