Yes, you are allowed your opinion. Thanks for coming here to dump it.

I have a BA in Fine Art. Hands on painting in several mediums. Also sculpture, drawing, woodworking and an intense study of art history.

Your critic sounds like my exes of my work, void of the passion and interpretation of the subject. He ridiculed one of mine never understanding what I had painted, yet an art critic from a large newspaper gave it high praise.

When you paint you pour your heart and soul into it as did j.muse, It was her interpretation of what Michelle means to black women and girls.

You don't have to like it, yet so sad you had to dump on it. Why can't something nice just be given a pass for a change.
