I've been reading a lot of the comments people leave you and I want to tell you to keep your head up and keep experimenting. These hard times are a great way for you to discover new things about yourself and your art. Just because people like the almost untouched photographs doesn't mean you should stop trying for something new that makes YOU happy. I personally loved to see this and love to see the difference between your walls. There is nothing more wonderful than watching a wonderful artist and a great friend grow.
Love you dear.
