    Hi David, thank you for your comment on Windblown. I just joined the site minutes ago and it was a nice welcome. I went to you your site but was unsure about he "safe filter" warning. However, I did browse the other site and enjoyed it very much. Your landscapes are lovely!

    David - I appreciated your paintings at the fineartamerica.com website, however was prevented from viewing many because something called a "safe filter" was turned on. At your davidsart.vpweb site I was particularly impressed by your masterful handling of rock structures!

    David, If i understand the thrust of you question. Almost the same one caused a row between some friends last weekend that still has to be resolved. I think it is an age old question that will never be satisfactorily answered depending on which side fo the fence you sit on. For me as viewer of art rather than a producer the first things i am drawn too are the subject, composition and technique. If i see something with 3 parralel lines, a red square and a triangle sitting on top with a price tag of $xxxx the first thing i think is s*&^ i could have done that. Then again i can go and look at something like Whistlers Nocturne in Black and Gold: the Falling Rocket and each time be mesmerized.......of course Ruskin would disagree with me :)
    John Ruskin described the painting as a "pot of paint thrown in the face of the public". (An odd comment for a critic so supportive of J.M.W. Turner's equally "abstract" paintings), Whistler filed a defamation suit against Ruskin. In court he was asked how long it had taken to paint the work in question. Whistler responded that it had taken 15 minutes to paint... and 40 years to learn how to paint it in 15 minutes.
