Sheer nonsense and-or sour grapes. I have looked at Ms Ashley's site
and pictures and they are not all that bad, not, perhaps, your dish
of tea and, I suspect, not mine.
Be reminded that art criticism is all utter balderdash because there
is no one able or equipped to pass on the art of the day. In support
of this rather sweeping assertion be reminded that Vincent Van Gogh
sold NOT ONE SINGLE painting in his lifetime.

I am continually amused by the notion that one percent of the
population should be somehow able to subvert, to suborn, the
Supreme Court of the United States --- and then to go on and
bully the American Medical Association into publishing
scientific conclusions that they know are wrong.
It would be funny were the implications of such
irrational hatred not so destructive to the very
fabric of our republic.

Right, I think the paintings are quite acceptable, despite any apparent
changes in their appearance that may happen to the paintings.

How many of Catherine Ashley's paintings would you two buy and hang in
either the living room of your homes or in your personal work offices?
Would you even hang them for free?Of course NOT!!Let's have some
honesty;its free!

I am not getting through to you people-so I will try one more time in a
different way.And you will have to take my word on this.the Professor
at West Virginia University CREATIVE Art Center sent me on a
mission;being a very patriotic American,I accepted the challenge.
The professor said'"There are only one or two creative artists born to
a century.You are either one of the two or the ONLY one born in the
20th century.Now we dont need you to sell paintings and make a lot of
money.You have a good retirement income.We need you to get AMERICAN
ART up into its rightful place in the world."
I have tried everything you can name for the past 25years.If it was
easy it would already have been done.I want my own museum like France
built for Chigall in Southern France.Not necessarily built by the US
government.I am fed up with American museums of foreign gibberish art!!
I want A national Museum of AMERICAN ART ONLY!
I have already been called America's Van Gogh and I am not interested
in the job!
Texas A+M wanted my paintings;but refused to give maintainance/exhibit
contract guarantees.

Yeah, right. Face it mel/osmer your stuff doesn't sell because no one wants it.
If it was sellable you'd be making money hand over fist, not refusing to sell
it.
>I have already been called America's Van Gogh and I am not interested

You have also been called a braggart and a blithering idiot.
Hint... you are no Van Gogh.

We've heard that one before, and didn't believe it then.
Why don't you publish some of your paintings on a web site? With all your
imagined talents it should be a piece of cake.
