The paintings are ...Andy ... what a master you are! The paintings are sublime. I so admire them. They have life with what seems like just the right amount/degree of everything. I'm not an art critic so my words are clumsy. They're elegant. It's something you do after a lifetime of doing it. <br /><br />But about the art critics. Of course, there's no justification for what they did but I wonder about art that has as its intention to make fun of something, to belittle. <br /><br />Your art has as its intention to respect something or to 'see' something in a most respectful way. That makes a difference. Your intention is not to belittle or make fun of. <br /><br />I wouldn't write a story with the intention of making fun or belittling something even though the principle of free speech would protect me insofar as principle can protect. <br /><br />Again, a thought-provoking post. Trout fishing. It sounds like something fun yet I'm not sure I could do it. I'd like to see a painting of a trout that you did. Dottie Jeannoreply@blogger.com
