First, I addressed the "no one understands" portion in my earlier reply (which crosses yours). For reference, most Chinese or Japanese do NOT understand the brush words in the scrolls you commonly see, if they are written in any sort of flowing or running style. I do not assume that this style of artworks is considered as good artworks by everybody. Just like some people like classical arts, but not abstract, and vice verse. My only defense is that this is what appeals to me, and hopefully to some other. This is what I do and like, as a photographer, as an image maker. No doubt I will evolve this style, based on the comments and feedback. So what you said is valuable.
