I have to agree with you completely on all your points. I remember when I first looked at the pictures from the show. I thought the trees were nice and some of the art was nice but overall I kept feeling a sense of distress and confusion. I wanted to reach in and move things around or take things out. In the "mountain" composition you just spoke of, I had to look for a second to actually find the tree amidst the chaos of the background.

I don't have an art background but feel I am sensitive to form and line and things like that. A lot of these pieces disturbed me. As you were saying, it looks like things were done by mistake or accident.

I applaud the effort to try to do something different but the effort, in this case, was not of quality.

Thank you for persisting in your efforts to educate and keep the focus on composition and artistic merit rather than traditional/non-traditional and all the rest that's been going on.
