"A true critic ought to dwell rather upon excellencies than imperfections, to discover the concealed beauties of a writer, and communicate to the world such things as are worth their observation." - Joseph Addison
It's just that when using common kitschy elements (like shells, Elvis, horses etc.) in paintings its hard not to harken back to the millions of other interpretations that have been witnessed before ad nauseam. And I understand this is an intentional aim for some artists, but am pretty sure it wasn't for you. The painting really is lovely as always Alison, its just a peeve and I figured you wouldn't mind the honesty.
An old Professor of mine (Morris Yarowsky) once told me and a host of other Art School idiots that "no one will paint a cat in my class". He never elaborated, but as the term went on it became obvious as we experimented beyond our comfort zones.
Take it easy, S-
