No, I am not the latter. I was reacting to your comments when the first (admittedly not polite) comment was from someone who doesn't like the images you posted. Your first comment was a fair reply, he was snarky, so you were also.
The second one where you started sounding elitist and took on a bragging tone, collected and admired the world over", "over $30K" got me upset. Where I come from people don't brag about themselves, if they are that good others will do it for them. A lot of our posters have done that for you. They like your posts and your art. I agree with the comment on how well they are photographed. I would like to know if they are paintings and then photographed or computer generated to begin with? If photographed paintings, as someone else asked, how was it accomplished?
Most of your images are colorful, cheerful looking and fun. They would be good wall decorations in a children's area or posters for those who like that sort of thing.
For that matter I really don't like a huge part of Picasso's work. Or most other "modern" art for that matter. Much of it is just gimmicks supported by critics and pedaled to those who will believe the hype and pay for it to impress their friends with their acquisitions and feelings for art.
I favor realistic work. If a piece of art has to explained to be understood then it didn't get its message across very well, my opinion.
You do have an audience for your work here. So post some more. You said you used to have a different style. Let us see some of those if available.

I like your work. course I am a photography as an art form kinda guy. as the romans used to say "illigetum non carbaromda" (sp?) which roughly translates as don't let the bastards get you down. I have found that photographers with an arts education and painters with cameras provide some of the best photography work. the world of Winfred Wilson is my favorite. kind of identifying in my head with mr Wilson. Would loved to see some of your photography. I am sure it is unique!!! I for one would pay and display some of your work. If you were closer to vero beach florida there are some galliries down here that would enjoy seeing your work. Vero has developed quite a arts and restaurant district. Also blow off the negative comments the only person you are responsible for to like your work is yourself (and your clients) several of your paintings would make excelant ties. your 1st painting has a Leroy nieumanesque quality about it. Realism in art and photography is grossely overrated.

Clicker44, you seem to be a bit touchy about people who don't like your "art".

So I will just make a note to not look at any more of your posts.

Oh, my personal rule is to read all of a thread even when I decide I don't like it at the beginning just to see what is there and what others think.

And I have found that no matter what it is there is some artist who will do it, some art critic who will proclaim it great, someone with more money than brains who will buy it to show what great taste in "art" they have. While 90% plus of the population are wondering what the artist, critic and buyer are doing as their drug of choice. And laughing their asses off at all three. (Well some are just puzzled and feel sorry for them.)
