[QUOTE="Star*, post: 198007, member: 4964"] Terry, I paint and draw. I ENJOY it when I enjoy it. Does that make sense? If I'm forced to draw something for someone vs. I suggested I could do it - the painting looks different. It honestly in my eyes is missing something. I have compared art work in different mediums from times in my life when I painted and was depressed, happy, content, sad.....and to me the difference is obvious. Depressed art has lots more edgy, Dali look to it. My happy art is glowing and the eyes of the animals are bright and intense I pay attention to details. So when you are sitting there comparing that painting by the person who won first place to your art. My first thought is that Art is in they eye of the beholder. My choice of artwork personally varies so much I truly don't have a favorite. So what YOU see (IMVHO) is a painting that is beautifully done, and when things are painted beautifully it must mean the artist was in a place in her mind that was beautiful to create such a work of art. When in fact that picture may not be her BEST work or HAPPY work - it MAY well be that it was a dark painting of her capturing a child that she lost. Whether she gave the child back, and that point is incomprehensible to you - the painting may be some of her dark work. It's really odd - I have things around like I said that are my dark art and some people just GO for those paintings. It's like they are drawn to them. Others look at my Dali style stuff and have NO comment (lol) but the people that like the darker art - rarely go for the happy animal art. Oddly enough when I was married to x? I stopped painting alltogether and when I divorced I turned out really nice works, and gave them away. I don't keep hardly anything at all. When I see a piece I've done sometimes I don't even recognize it. But I think in my mind - Huh - That's kinda nice - I like it. For the record- some people really like those photograph art works - and I do not. If I want a photo - I'll take a photo - If I want a painting - I'm going to paint it in my own interpretation. Hope this puts a different perspective on the end of the camel hair. Hugs van Gogh no really - you put gas in it and my van goes. [/QUOTE]
