And if you don’t have the money for a gallery, you could try raising chickens, quails, or even mushrooms—and gradually earn enough to afford a gallery, provided, of course, that you still feel like pursuing that by the time you’ve saved up! :)

I have never stopped painting in the most difficult circumstances. I have been painting for more than 30 years in a row.

I really wanted to see your work because the ad below has all your posts, but when I clicked on it, it wouldn't open.

Remind me... for how many years did Sisyphus push that boulder up the hill? :)
He believed his motivation and his goals were the right ones... presumably...
Or perhaps not every piece of prey is meant for a predator—sometimes you need to look for different prey instead :)

In my opinion (personal opinion) this is the best artwork I've seen from you in the last few days. A perfect artwork.

Funny enough, an artist friend of mine from Israel—I know him as Rane—criticized this particular piece, along with the drawing of the sleeping fisherman and the pike, precisely because they were done using a stippling (dot-work) technique. He told me back then: "No dots!"
I did go back and rework the drawing of the pike, but I left this one as it is—for the sake of constructive criticism, lol.
Does this mean I’m not growing as an artist, but actually regressing? :)

This is Rane’s website—his gallery. He’s an incredible hyperrealist artist: https://ran-art.com

No, don't let criticism from others, even me, bother you. Throughout history, artists have always been criticized. I think you should listen to criticism and if you like a part of it, stick to it like honey and use it. If you don't like it at all, ignore the criticism... Punctuation is a famous art style called pointillism and it has famous artists. We all go through different experiences during our artistic career that become part of our artistic journey, and all of them are experiences, good or bad.

That’s exactly how I look at it, lol—criticism just rolls off me like water off a duck’s back. But at the time, I realized that while working in a pointillist style comes quite easily to me, mastering a classical approach—or any other drawing technique, even if it’s just doodling—would be a great way to grow. It’s like bringing in an extra harvest! :)

I don’t remember the exact details—it was a long time ago—but I believe I made these images interactive so they could be opened; perhaps something has broken :)

I don’t remember the exact details anymore—it was a long time ago—but I believe I made these images interactive so they could be opened; perhaps something has broken since then. :)
For instance, the sequoia—that was the first pencil drawing I’d done after not picking up a pencil to draw for about 35–40 years. :)

You’ve already seen the drawing with the rooster; as for the rest, they are my own drawings created over photographs—done manually, without the use of AI—along with photo collages that I also put together myself. :)
