The title of this new blog really sums up what my life is all about!
Well, I'm glad I'm not the only person who questions their own ability and why some paintings will sell faster than others. I read a post from a blog called 'Different Strokes from Different Folks', created by Karin Jurick. As I was reading her latest blog post, it was like as if I was reading my own thoughts!
I too wonder some times why, what I think is 'a damn good painting!' will sit there and sit there without a bid or a watcher. WHY? Can't people see how good that painting is? Maybe I could have done it better? Maybe it's not as good as I think it is! Why isn't there two or three people fighting over this painting? It's soooo frustrating when that happens!!
Luckily, for my sanity, it's happened a few times over the past couple of years since I started selling paintings, so now, I simply shrug it off and carry on with the next painting. I know it will sell, sooner or later! That doesn't mean it doesn't zap me of my enthusiasm for painting at times! It just means I have to once again, accept the fact that the public will buy what they like!
Anyway, these are my latest listings on ebay. I know there's quite a difference between all three!! I have ABSOLUTELY no idea most of the time what painting I will do next. It's the one that jumps out at me, that's the painting I will start.
Cheers Joá
ps......I can not believe I am about to list the 100th Portrait Painting I've done to sell on ebay!!!
Portrait Painting #99
