Dear Sir,
My name is Lillyana and I am freelance realist artist based in Melbourne in Australia.
I just visited your awesome website that gave me confidence to continue creating art in realistic style which I LOVE..
I used to go around and apologize to mostly my abstract loving teachers who repeatedly told me that realism is noting special, anyone can do it it is , boring, and I might as well take a photo..
As result of this I gave up painting for decades.
I apologized for loving realism and admiring Vermeer, Leonardo, Michael Angelo, and many more classical painters..
After I saw your website it gave me confidence that there is nothing wrong with realism, and my interest in this style is NO CRIME as some abstractionists wanted me to believe.
I love ALL realism especially Photo Realism which I am trying to perfect in my own paintings.
I specialize in portraits, both human and animal kind, I especially like to draw and paint cats.. ALL cats, big and small.
I work in all mediums from pencil on paper to oil on canvas ..
I just wanted to thank you for an EXCELLENT WEBSITE that gives hope to us realists out there.
Thank you for your time reading this email.
Sincerely Yours,
Lilly Antoneavic. xxx
