A friend of mine told me the other day that painting portraits from photos and software is cheating! But who makes the call that something is a cheat or not?
My “paintings” tend to veer towards the expressive rather than try to be an accurate representation of the subject. I may not use an easel, canvas, pencil or paint but I still lay down brush strokes and I still interact with my painting as any artist would. Am I any less of an artist for taking this approach? Clearly I am a photographer first and foremost, that is what I do every day, but I do ike to experiment and create works of art from my photos.
