I never understood how hard abstract artwork was until I tried it. People often say things like my kid could draw that, or how is that art? I think a lot of this is tied to the work ethic in our country, especially here in the mid west. Viewers can see the hard work when they look at a realistic or photo realistic pieces, they don't understand the amount of work that goes into the concepts ideas behind the abstract works. Artists communicate but we all seem to speak in our own language.
