Would you do that meme with an artistic semi| abstract photo of a woman vs one of a full portrait from your Lidl catalogue because there's more details, colours?
There has been a huge resurgence of people deeming art>beauty, accuracy as a criteria, common since modern art appeared on the art scene, but is worrying as an absolute and a society level of art, media and global literacy.

Just like digital art is not easier than traditional art (I find it the other way round for instance). Would you say writing a book on word and not by hand is cheating? Bfr. If technical, frame by frame, apparent complexity was the only goal of art, we would have stopped long ago... Being realistic stopped being the goal long ago, if it were ever the sole goal (spoiler alert: no)
This is a commissioned watercolor painting I finished last week. It is a birthday present to celebrate the dog's second birthday that is coming up in May. The dog's name is ZhuangZhuang.
I also added bee wings to the picture as requested.

"Portrait of Dolores Hoyos," Hermenegildo Bustos, 1884.
Mexican artist José Hermenegildo de la Luz Bustos Hernández (1832-1907) was known mostly for his portraits, but also did a number of religious paintings and still lifes.
He saw a lot of turbulence in his early life, including a cholera epidemic and the founding of the Mexican nation. At various times he worked as a tinsmith, tailor, carpenter, and mason, and kept an orchard. He had many interests in thing like history and astronomy, and art. He had a little formal art training but seems to have been largely self-educated, painting portraits of the members of prominent families in his area. He even did a portrait of Benito Juarez, now lost. (Check your attic!) And he always modestly indicated himself as "amateur painter" when signing his work.
After his death and the Mexican Revolution, his work was reassessed as a native son of Mexico, and received greater notice and acclaim. This portrait of a well-to-do young lady is probably his most popular work.
From the Museo Blaisten, Ciudad de Mexico.

"Rum Row," Frederick Judd Waugh, 1922.
This is a fairly off-the-beaten-track painting for Waugh (1861-1940), who was known mostly as a marine painter. His seascapes are still admired today.
The son of portraitist Samuel Waugh, he had the best education and lives mostly abroad, painting seascapes. He returned to the US in 1908 where he went from New Jersey to Maine to Provincetown, MA. He also did illustration work for periodicals, and was hired by the Navy to design camouflage for ships.
Most interestingly, he published a number of fairy tales with American settings. He was deeply interested in folklore and the supernatural, and sought to create a New World fairy tradition for young readers.
But today we have some lovely irises in empty old rum bottles. These probably were considered trash in his day....now they're valued collectibles!
Happy Flower Friday!

Nothing special is depicted here. I merely thought this in-game screenshot looked nice.
The scene is located in the monastery section when you walk the path downwards towards the lake, but turn around to look back up towards the wooded area. (roughly 1 minute into the game if you start fresh)
