Ah, Pablo, you will never get anywhere with this smearing of the colors. Look at all the great masters like Leonardo and Michel and Raphael. You and Vincent will never get anywhere.
My dearest Pandacat,
Haven't you heard? We are already there.
"I shan't enter into generalities concerning technique, but I certainly foresee that as I gain
more of what I shall call expressive force, people will say not less but even more than they
do now that I have no technique."
I like the picture. I am not sure of the conversation though. I would agree that just applying filters is not very artistic if the "artist" is really not involved.

Thank you, Dave.
the conversation:
Digital painters and out of the "mainstream" paintings are not well received in this forum.
The focus is on marketable filtered photos... Photo Illustration aplenty but little Digital Art.
the question:
Where is the art that speaks of social issues or of the very heart, the guts of the artist?
Beyond technique and cool filters... where is the attempt toward meaning and content?
Dave, as to the conversation between Cheryl and I .... it is being said with all due Tongue-in-Cheek. Some think that the only way to accomplish a vision is to follow all of the "Rules" and if you don't follow the "Rules", then you will never become "Recognized" by the established community.
My reference to Picasso and van Gogh were simple pokes at those folks that insist on only "one way" to accomplish something. Obviously those guys didn't follow the rules. They probably heard the same things I heard when I was growing up in the mountains of the Carolina's... "You ain't never gonna amount to nothin', boy!"
I think Cheryl's work is really good. But, then, I don't follow the rules, so what the hell do I know!?!

Hi Cheryl,
"What is art?" That question has been around, unanswered a very long time. My opinion would be that at a minimum the "artist" must be trying to communicate a story or an emotion. The posting of an automated altered image must (to me) say something to be artistic. You and I are on the same page about that.

Cheryl,
I would like to here more about what you think and see more of your art. I would agree, some people take themselves too seriously. The tone around here seems less than supportive.
