He is so wrong on so many levels. Remember how inspiring Bob Ross was to so many who longed for a creative outlet but felt it was out of their reach. Painting like the other arts: literature & music because of the variety it can touch everyone and that is what it is about. <br />Your art is so beautiful! I am sure that this guy is not one of your peers or else he would have recognized it as beautifully done. I so admire it and always use the close up feature to check it out when you post on the Daily Paintworks site. c.dingmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787524207882016265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-75017928471740492202013-12-29T03:45:46.747-07:002013-12-29T03:45:46.747-07:00Dear Julie,
