If we work in this digital medium, painting with effects we
might find very difficult to duplicate in the real medium, using
all kinds of clones, and textures and waves, are we really making art
or are we just playing around with these wonderful toys, trying to
duplicate something we saw in a real painting. This is a genuine
quandary. If one makes a good piece and has it printed on good paper,
is it as good as one painted by the artist or serigraphs from an
original work. What do people think?

Being the layman I am on this subject, I would say no, in every case.
You can't duplicate the paintbrush texture, and where applicable,
acrylic highlights, on a print, as compared to a original painting. In
other words, the print tends to look somewhat flatter.

And yes, I have seen it with my own two eyes :)

In my opinion art is in the eye of the beholder. Just look at some of the
stuff that passes for art in the paint world. g

Sure it's art. We just use different tools, that's all.
