Well, no help from me, both are great and I believe it's always best to go with your own gut feeling. I like this philosophy, from the person I believe to be the best painter working today:<br /><br /><em> Build up you self esteem to the level that might seem unwarranted. This will help you ignore both positive and negative responses to your paintings. Both are usually misguided, since they come from the outside. Be your most severe and devastating critic, while never doubting that you are the best thing since sliced bread.</em> Alex Kanevsky (from this classic interview: http://www.vivianite.net/alex-kanevsky-3.aspx)Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07901533179774248604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598489002518349548.post-19377036824692805192010-01-14T00:29:14.150-08:002010-01-14T00:29:14.150-08:00It's not an easy call, but I think number one ...It's not an easy call, but I think number one is number one.JoBeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589052439306769999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598489002518349548.post-76052007779967294272010-01-13T18:33:34.193-08:002010-01-13T18:33:34.193-08:00The second one.
