What is art indeed... I am like bogwoppet, I don't care for abstract art at all. Realism, mixed with a bit of dream-like fantasy, is my choice. I would love to achieve realism in my images to a certain degree. For example, when someone looks at my work, I want them to feel like if they reach out and touch the lion's pelt, it will feel rich in texture, something they can sink their fingers into before he sinks his fangs into them. LOL Real, yet a dream-like creation. It is an incredibly fine line, in my opinion. And one that very, very few artists ever achieve.
