Persevere, Michael - go your own way and don't be deflected by criticism!

Thats very good of you to say Robert. If a fellow artist criticised my skill as an artist it would be different but i was taken to task about my presumed lowly view of women. It was that which incensed me. I worship women and have utter respect for them. I only wish i had a lovely lady in my life to share my journey. Thankyou for your comment.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Michael. Your ladies have the most ethereal presence x

I have shown her face only because im sick and im tired of my art being misjudged and misunderstood. I do not need to elevate my view of women thankyou very much, as one arrogant and ignorant so called artist has pointed out, wrongly!! My work as ive said again and again is a celebration of reproduction and generation and i do not apologise for celebrating woman as i envision her!!
