thumbs down Why Bother?

Well, frankly, I DON'T GET IT. Why not blow up a photograph? At my very intollerant, older age (67), I get to my own bottom line instantly.... so here it is....WHY BOTHER??? Just blow up a photograph and be done with it.

Painting someone's portrait involves perception, skill, etc.etc. .... and the energy of the artist. PR to me is just one of those things that I see as "Just get over it!"

SO, I'm not a a diplomat. So...who cares. Painting involves such an enormous amount of physical, spiritual, perceptual, intellectual .... ...... oh my goodness... and on and on qualities that to do a painting that is a PR ... sorry, no room for interest or excuses. This business is way too difficult to give kudos to that kind of stuff. So be it.
