.... one never knows.
It is the image I want to send off to the competition....the one I see in my mind's eye ... will they like it (Love it)? That is now the next step.
It brings up the question, do I paint for me or for others.... I paint for me and hope (HOPE) that others like it too.
Some people say an artist should paint what sells ... I paint and hope it sells. Perhaps that is why I have so many images just waiting for a new wall to hang on.
I feel that painting what is true in your own heart and mind is the only way to go ....
so GO!!!!! PAINT! CREATE and learn for every mark you make.
Wish me luck!

It radiates, Teri. Wishing you the best of luck!
ReplyDeleteI agree Teri. The business of *painting what sells* is assembly-line work. Painting from your inner soul always shows through, is not shallow nor trite.
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, Van Gogh had a lot of paintings on hand....and look at the treasure-trove we are left with! ;)
I really love the incredible motion in the piece....good work!
XXOO!!
