So I finally got back to this account (since January (SORRY!)) and looking through the artists that have used my stock I realize just how talented and creative people really are. I also never realized how many amazing horse-photo-manip artists are out there (don't get me wrong, I LOVE horses so keep those coming *grin*).

Someone wrote me a note asking me why I bother with stock. My 'main' (or 'art' ) account is gathering popularity but this one just kind of sits around. So, to answer the curious: I'm not here for a popularity contest (on either of my accounts). I'm here for the fun that I have in seeing and sharing art of all kinds. And I provide this account merely for the few people who stumble across it and find a photo that they can use. I love seeing what people can come up with. My rule #3 is in my rules only because I'm the curious type - it's like seeing your child in a school play. Though granted, I don't qualify myself as a professional (in any field) I hope that my 'art' can inspire or impress even one person...even if that person is myself. I feel that way about anyone who makes art. That's the beauty of being an artist: not popularity, not "purpose", but the satisfaction that comes from the process and the result.

And that concludes my rant for the month

I'll try to post some more photos soon. Lots of flowers and more gardens on the way!
