Good afternoon Adain. I wondered how long it would take you to carefully think your response through. I posted my hands at rest painting to test the waters so to speak. Your comment was the only one I received and although it was instructional, it identified the consensus with the common interpretation of solitude, by artists and the judge alike. Pity we live in such a world. The simplest definition of solitude is "alone". Being alone is not being lonely or in a state of despair. To me, rendering any depiction of human pain is unacceptable. I really don't like this contest category so I have never produced a painting fitting the conventional interpretation of solitude. I think my bio statement states my position poignantly. I have seen more than enough of man's inhumanity to know I do not want to promulgate it either through though or deed. I choose to make objects of beauty simply because I can and it somehow heals the soul, mine and others as well.

Thank you for allowing me to add you as a friend.

Good evening Adain. May I add you as a friend on my profile page? I never do so without asking permission first.

Good morning Alain. In regards to your comments about my hands painting, I agree. Thank you for taking the time for the evaluation. I threw it into the contest just to see how many views I would pick up. It is time to remove it now. Thanks again.
