Close up of 'Nothing to Wear', acrylic on canvass. My friend came to stay at the weekend and the gallery wall was a little much for him to take in. He did say that he loved this one and it was something he could see his wife owning and displaying. It's funny, as an artist still finding his way I often wonder if I should try and focus on images and pictures I could sell or continue to experiment and be abstract and 'weird' in order to satisfy myself first and foremost. An example of this are the blended 'background' images that I am told would be commercial but I feel are lacking. I know it's personal taste but I guess I'm still doing this as a hobby so should concentrate on what I enjoy painting right? Last point on this painting is that it is one of the few that I have gone into with a fixed plan and image. One that has actually come out almost exactly as planned as well. Maybe rather than worrying about the commercial viability of work I should focus on planning pictures more? #artist #artsppl #essay #friday #oils #impasto #paletteknife #instaart #instagood #artisforall #color #colour #clothes #wardrobe #painting
