Gallery Submissions

I have been busy developing paintings for a gallery submission for the last few months.  My focus has been on big eyed flower fae.  These paintings still have my signature flowers, butterflies, color palette and line technique.  

I was informed by an art collector that people find paintings of realistic people sometimes disturbing.  Especially if they don't know the person.  If an artist specializes in people it would be recommended to focus on a stylized people or develop characters.  

This approach is more imaginative.  I took those words to heart and have been trying to do just that.

I still get flashes of realistic paintings of women.  I have these paintings sketched in my studio or floating in my head.  And they may resurface in the future.  But for the rest of January it is all about the fae.

'till next time,
