I thought the juror's and reviewers' points were concerning photographic distortion that some artists do not know how to accommodate. If it looks like it is painted from a photograph, that is not a good thing. To be sure, there are a number of books to assist people in overcoming that phenomenon.<br /><br />Truly, as a plein air artist, I didn't think the juror knew or appreciated my realm, either! Plein air pieces should be held to a different standard than studio work and I was glad to have the opportunity to point that out to her.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09310275865540538314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625651714989296732.post-64540733597615901152009-12-21T19:37:12.764-05:002009-12-21T19:37:12.764-05:00Ariel,

But, if the process involves a photograph, the creative muse is denied it's full opportunity. It is the process that fully creates what has yet to be created. Life is the stage for the muse.<br /><br />Have a happy holiday season.<br /><br />DAFDavid Fnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625651714989296732.post-65482874685315728282009-12-19T08:47:21.475-05:002009-12-19T08:47:21.475-05:00Thank you Elizabeth for your "two cents"...Thank you Elizabeth for your "two cents".ariel freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639601159961131628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625651714989296732.post-39881069837766007582009-12-18T22:00:34.616-05:002009-12-18T22:00:34.616-05:00When one submits art like you do does one have to ...When one submits art like you do does one have to state what your reference was- ie - that you used a picture???? I think that the whole idea is just another form of exclusionism or snobbism if you prefer. A way of saying what is or is not art- a litmus test??/ Who cares what the reference was as long as it was of the artists taking and the resulting work is what matters!! Just my niave two cents!!! Your juror obviously knew good art, beautifully exicuted when she saw it!!!<br />Holiday Hugs!<br />ElizabethElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13861364748418692061noreply@blogger.com
