As usual, I didn't pay any attention to the date of the original post. I am sorry you deleted your replies and your hard work as I would have liked to see them.
But as you are already aware, artists are a funny, goofy, strange type people and tend to be defensive about their work. Even when they "ask" for an opinion as was done here.
We all have been there. We will go there again. For, we as so-called "artists" think what we create is like a child, our child and it springs forth from our very being.
I do hope you let this pass as I am sure you will. I did like the picture very much, just as it is but all of that is subjective and you know how that goes.
And yes, I am very well thank you considering the alternatives and possibilities of situations.
I was just surprised that my work wasn't wasn't recognized, I guess. I sorta felt dismissed. But I got over it! As you said, artists are funny like that. And this was MY artwork. LOL
