@timsaid, most artists do put in their blood sweat and tears into their work. But they rarely show it. And there are many of us who still carry on in the tradition of the masters by employing their techniques. The problem is, art is so subjective. When patrons collect your work, they are buying it for their own reasons. You managed to appeal to a part of them that could not live without it. So whether that collector is looking for minimalistic art or Renaissance replicas, that's not for us to decide or complain about. I agree with you about the absurdity of what someone with expendable income considers art. But I also will tell you that the skills you seem to admire are here and plentiful. You just need to know where to look.
