"It's too good to be true."
I and many other artists of the "Semi-realism" and "Realism" genre now and again come across art skeptics... "It's too good to be true."
From the artist's perspective it is both frustrating, and viewed as a compliment.
Frustrating bc. of the hours of work we put into our craft, and complimentary bc. we know our goal has been achieved.
Our art may seem somewhat "magical" but the reality is far from that.
One of the greats nailed it with the following.
“If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all.” - Michelangelo
This artist has encountered the same. In all things in life, give credit, when credit is due. Thank you.
