The main point of art showing here is work made by the actual member artist which is humble and humbly honest. Art Wanted believes in artists. I was for a while back showing on another art online site but I quit them abruptly when the art dealers began to dominate everything quite arrogantly sling Van Gogh and every other famous artist who’s work they scanned and copied. I complained and these dealers laughed at me.
So I believe in Art Wanted as long as they continue to believe in me and all the members who are producing and showing their own artwork!
I would like to make this clear, I'm not the original artist of practically every drawing I post on artwanted. I search for photos or paintings that appeal to me and I use that as a reference to draw from. I do not possess the creative talent of a lot of artists who out of their imagination come up up with some amazing ideas, I salute those who can do that. However, be assured that any drawing or painting I post is done by my hands, I take no ones drawing and painting they did and sign my name to it as if I did it. I just thought I would clear that up in case anyone was wondering, thanks for your time and understanding, Ron Bedsole
