That's your opinion of "art". Art is subjective and varies from person to person. A sculpturer takes stone, or snow, or ice or wood and carves something out of it. The end result is a "statue"....or "art". Someone else might smash up a bunch of coloured glass and tiles and assemble them into a pattern and fill the spaces with grout. The end result is a mosaic....or "art". Someone else may run around their town gathering lint from the lint traps of dryers in laundry mats and piece it together into pictures....or "art". Another person might might take metal and melt it and mould it into interesting shapes. That too is art. Some people collect junk from dumpsters and junk yards and assemble it into "sculptures", again... art. Some render in Poser and then use another medium, such as painting or drawing, to recreate it on canvass. Both end up being the same, but different mediums were used to accomplish each. One isn't necessarily better than the other, and both are art. There are many forms of art, and each has their own merits, but it's all still art. I find it sad that you look down on people who express their creativity and "art" in a different manner than you do. Rather shameful actually.... and kind of snobbish too. Anyway, I back to the topic at hand... I've seen so many gorgeous images in the gallery that I've been embarassed to post my own meagre attempts, but I've been coherced to post them anyway, LOL so I've uploaded my second image to my gallery. Maybe I'll eventually have a whole row ;)

angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
