Thank you so much, Clint, for writing this post. It's long overdue. It can be very discouraging for an artist who has worked long and hard to attain competency and quality to discover that those who attended a 'sip and paint' now call themselves artists: everyone's now in the game. As an artist and former gallery curator, I know what to do with mediocre paintings. They go into our New Year's Day bonfire. Thanks for reminding us all that quality is more important than ever.

This is so important Clint and I’m glad you pointed it out. Having written articles for art magazines for 2 decades, I understand what you’re saying about writing like a baby and editing like a nazi. It’s interesting to think about applying the same to my artwork.
