Creating is not an act of genius, it is a very long process of learning and studying, of observation and analysis: in primis of Nature, then of other artists.

So true @armandosodano. We can reproduce an image from another photograph or painting ~ But only when we bring something of our own 'Creative Essence' will it have that extra something that we can't always define ~ But it becomes our Art. And it simply doesn't matter if anyone likes or dislikes it ~ How can you possibly dislike your own 'baby.' ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
