Most people who tell me that are trying to compliment me. Let's face it, everyone is your critic. Today a very old friend commented on a painting I did of her late husband several years ago, that I had improved since the portrait of him, that I didn't quite get the mouth; but I am doing them good now! It is a good thing that we get feedback like that to keep us humble. Perhaps the work we do today will get a negative critique down the road, no matter how good we think it is today. You can't please everybody, anyway.
