Anyway, in my typically wordy way, I'm just trying to say that I'm a big proponent of allowing an artist to express themselves however they want to, without forcing them to be analytical or to adhere to certain "rules."

I'm having trouble expressing myself regarding this. LOL I think a lot of people think that by not editing themselves, they are "copping out". I can draw a line on a piece of paper and say it's art. Not everyone would, but there's the argument, huh? LOL
I'm a proponent of people doing whatever they want and saying it's art. I don't have to AGREE with their assessment if I don't like it and don't think it's very artistic, but that's the whole art argument. I don't see how a canvas with splashes of paint on it is very artistic, but others think it's the greatest thing ever.
I can see it both ways, I guess.
