Why the low self-esteem John? I consider you to be a real artist, always willing to take risks and share your personal vision. Your work reminds me of the best of German expressionism, Kokoskcha, Kirchner, Grosz, etc.

you're very kind but compare my cartooning and doodling to others who paint, and make great expressions...and those who can draw ACCURATELY, geez I can't even draw the human figure...I don't know why I worship the feminine form so much anyway, it's totally and completely lost to me and so foreign to me.

I agree, but that's not the way it's looked at, really. I once was trying to join a group on here of a particular theme, expressionist, post-expressionist, something like that. A woman who ran the group denied me membership, and she suggested that I study little kids' drawings and try to pick up some pointers.

How strange! I was also denied entry to a group because my work wasn't "interpretive" enough. 
Here is the offending painting that disqualified me:

Thank you. My conclusion also. Fuck those art snobs and their criteria.
