What it takes to complete painting, fall art show

Fall art show, studio sale, don’t miss art deals

Fall art show is here. Buy art from the artist. It will be original art and it will come at a lot less than buying from a gallery. Studio sale offers plenty of art at great prices. 3 ladies already responded. I am genuinely thankful for their support, and I hope they like their paintings, however, taking into account the large number of items for which I do not have left any wall space and any storage space, I would need much more sales happening. Please, take advantage of very affordable rates and keep shopping.

Perfecting my own style

I work a lot and hard to create my paintings. I know how much easier it is to make abstract art because that takes origin only in one’s imagination. Artists sometimes simply try to comply with market trends also. Unfortunately, I am not in abstracts that much, I prefer more challenge. I have developed my own realism style which is not a copy of photo, but artistically enhanced realism.

Creating art takes time and patience

When we look at a painting, it seems it didn’t take any time or efforts. It is due to the fact, that good art shouldn’t exhibit artistic struggles and technical difficulties, but mood and atmosphere of the painted scene or subject. When we get past such struggles, the genuine creation happens. Some of my paintings took 2 years to bring to a stage when I liked them. In average, each painting takes about 1 week to month to get it to the point when I am  satisfied with it. There are smaller watercolors which only take one to two days to accomplish, but any larger work requires much more time because most of my paintings are rather representative than abstract.

Showing groups of paintings

Why do I love showing paintings rather in groups than just one image at a time? Internet display has huge drawbacks when it comes to art. Small 8 x 10 inch paintings virtually look the same size as 3 feet by 4 feet paintings, colors are also more realistic in group photos. I must add, that the online look of painting and its colors will greatly depend on your device and its settings.

  1. Such a nice collection over the years, I ordered your kitchen still life sketch and I know it will fit in nicely. I hope you will get better soon. So many ups and downs of life we do the best we can. You inspire me to get back to blogging!

  2. I don’t know about your followers, but I think only one or two of my hundreds of followers ever actually read anything written with my posts. Good luck with selling more of your work. I’m too far away/too poor to help.

    1. That means I have pretty good percentage of followers reading my posts. Some of them are like real friends, so, I’d say it’s about 20-40 people who read my posts. Thanks for wishing good luck! It probably seems like something expensive which it isn’t because other artists sell for instance bird paintings of the same quality and size 12 x 16 for $900, I’m just trying to get some fraction of it. I never had any problems in Europe, maybe more people simply knew me; I suppose people in Europe want only original art on their walls, but for those who cannot afford anything more than 20 bucks, there are posters and prints. I’m not saying you have to because sometimes even that amount is a problem, but still, I believe with shipping it might be like $35. I simply get only $2 out of it, that’s how it works.
      Thanks for taking your time, reading and commenting! I certainly appreciate that.

    1. Thank you so much Diane! I really appreciate you did that because I can see now how much I had left behind any advertising and making people aware I exist. That is very nice from you. I hoped, as well, the only results were some likes so far, but it still is a reminder that I have not discontinued my art.

    1. Thanks Christian! Realistically, I’m not trying to do reality, but when something looks real, is nice, I mean, it causes somebody to experience the things which are painted. Happy 2017!

    2. Thanks so much! Your posts were very interesting to read, I certainly will return to them. I am very glad about meeting you online on WP< because it feels you have a lot to share and say, and I always love learning. I wish you also blessed, wonderful, creative, healthy and happy 2017!

Feel like sharing your thoughts? I'd love to hear from you.
