[Christopher Walrath]

Ya know, this is somewhat along the vein of the article I wrote. But I guess what doesn't occur to some folks in the art critique community is that sometimes it might be just a smidge possible that at least two people's artistic vision can overlap. Yes there is a definite influence between a master and an apprentice and the direction of their art will invariably carry in somewhat differing directions. But there will invariably be similarities. This is not necessarily 'riding the coattails' of another. Rather the short sighted vision of others, I believe. In my humble opinion, that is.
