I have been working on this for months now and have over 60 hours into it. I thought this would be a good place to share what I can finally call a masterpiece!

To make effort and hard work look like if it is nothing and all easy fun - that is really an art! i also like the diversity of interpretations possible. compared to it, the mona Lisa is boring. She always smiles inthe same way. Camaero, keep on the hard work, and you will have a great future greeting you.

True. Unfortunately it's impossible to make statements such as "this is art", and "this is not art". As soon as divisions such as the above are made, we then impose criteria and restrictions, ending up with a manual "How To Make Art". Which is rubbish.
Don't bother yourself with questions of what is or is not art - your sensibilities will decide that for you

My standard glib response is that art is what gets hung up in galleries, literature is what gets taught, and art criticism is an employment scam for art critics.

That avoids all and everything. If nothing is art, everything is art.

Looking at what is often hunged up in galleries, I have my doubts.
