For me, when looking at an artwork and judging its merits, my only question is, "Would I enjoy seeing this every day hanging on my wall at home?". If the answer is Yes, then it's wonderful art in my point of view....I am not one of these people who believes you need to shock with your art, or be so radical that no-one else can see the point of your work - for me, it's about presenting a pleasant aesthetic, something which will bring people enjoyment, adding a smile and a little extra sunshine to their lives every time they look at it.
