Oh what fun it is to sing a sleighing song tonite....jingle bells jingle bells...

Do you think maybe the "rules" were made so that persons can look at anothers bonsai and say, see that bonsai, its crap, because the rules say it is. (But in reality, I may not be able to tell you why I dont like it) Do we need an excuse to not like someone elses creative juices? In New York city, an artist threw elephant dung onto the canvas of a painting of Mary, mother of Jesus in the name of his art.....dont know bout them rules either.

Gary, you sleigh (slay) me. Thanks for the French lesson!!

To everyone, my answer to

Thing is, do they move one the same?

I am moved daily by many of the trees I see here and other forums. Novice or better. I am moved by personal attempts to create and strive to learn. I am also proud of those that actually create something they feel confident enough to exhibit. That in itself moves me.

The artist does have a responsibility to viewers of the art. Our responsibility is to show that the artform is not limited. And that with everything else, let it evolve as it gains momentum, without losing its history.
