Sigh. I'm not saying anyone told me I wasn't an artist. I said I am not an artist. I am not trolling for public opinion. I don't open up my gallery to comments. Normally I would just post my little bit and allow myself to be happily ignored. Because this is just a hobby for me. Not a vocation. Not a calling. Not a profession. A hobby. And when people complain there is no art in the galleries, I have to admit...I am not creating art. So provide a hobbyists gallery. Not a beginner's gallery because I'm not a beginner. A place for someone who admits they have artistic limitations and isn't embarressed to make that admission. I think I'm not being clear but I don't know how to explain it any better. Art is a matter of the heart. Your heart tells you that you are an artist. Great. Terrific. Wonderful. My heart tells me that I would be pretending to be what I am not if I made any such pronouncement. So I have a hobby. And my hobby is Poser. Hurting no one. So have a gallery for the amateur rank so that the professionals don't feel so put upon. That's all. End of me on this thread. If it isn't clear by now what I mean, it never will be and I don't want to waste anyone else's time with this train of thought.
