Oh, boy! Here we go. And yet, Zhann, there is the idea that my Art is created as my own self expression. It exists because I. by my time and effort brought it from an idea into the world of form. It does not cease to be Art any more or any less if you like it or hate it. For my work to evolve it only requires that I continue to live. If by "evolve" you mean that I change my work based on the pos/neg votes by the majority then it sounds like "design by commitee". I believe that Art is a stand one takes by displaying choices, my choices. Others can vote all they want but I have no agreement with them to change my work to please anyone but myself. Now, if I want to communicate with another person, like telling a story, just for example : ) my signal must be clear enough to be understood. I paint "Lonliness" and someone sees "Happiness". Clearly communication has not been established. It's ok if they want my picture to mean "Happiness" but they didn't get me. And if asked to tell a story with a picture and by looking, one doesn't get the story being told, who do you hold accountable? The transmitter or the receiver? Thanks for the reply, Zhann. And Claymor, I agree with you (which is why I asked the question) there are some OutStanding! pictures submitted but I believe to tell a story certain elemental requirements must be satisfied.
