"How long did it take you to make that?" ...
As artists, we have all heard those annoying comments, those repeated questions, and those cutting remarks. It comes with the territory. If we are going to show our work to the public, then we open ourselves up to whatever abuse the public sees fit to heap upon us. Now, is it really all that bad? No. However, we tend to remember and often dwell upon those negative comments.
