Au-ch Larry , who implied that? Who cares ? I just do what i do ! could not care what they do.
Did you mis-read me or did I mis-speak? Had nothing to do with you, my dear. More a general observation.
I know it is probably strange, but to my mind, thought space is like buying a warehouse. First you buy it to have a lot of space, then it quickly gets full and you need a bigger one. I always try to carry any idea as large as it will go, and so often, I'm not understood. It's nobody's fault but my own. Sorry to hurt you, if that's what happened. Sure didn't mean to. It would be the last thing I'd ever want to do.

Don't worry about this Larry, no hurt on my part , what I was referring to is a comparison to Picasso, out of all people, a bench mark that just can not be obtained and why would you even try to? I am not sure if he cared what Galleries thought or did either, just thought you were reaching a bit with Pablo.
In light of that, I have to admit that I just ain't there. But, I've stopped needing to be. Fortunately. We can't all be Picasso. Some are definitely "more equal" than others.

This is what I was saying au-ch to , the fact that you actually cared some time or another . I speak for myself here, but all heroes and idols come to pass , why bother ., I just take what I can from them and move on.

Sorry John, I think your question here was to a viewer and not artist , I am speaking from the artist's point of view , as a viewer I would just ignore the works that have no soul ... I try to take that approach with my work as well...Decorative art is so far away from my world , when a gallery owner tells me she has clients with multi-million dollar homes and my work is going to decorate their walls I cringe...Some artist produce work for that and only that purpose

And yet, the duality of what we do is that all art is decorative.
