Art club thingy for the past weeks has been AGMs and demos, not been doing much art other than the fanart stuff (just one pic, see below).( on with the waffle and a dog pic )
Aw, but that's lovely. Fingers crossed he'll think it looks like his dog, I guess you just can't tell!! But it's certainly a beautiful dog. It struck me visiting some touristy shops that pictures of animals and things go down an absolute storm with 'the public', but I would always love abstract things like your encaustic more. Must be frustrating for artists who don't enjoy making art that makes money.... You're pretty lucky that you can do all kinds of art!
I have an artist friend who absolutely hates the whole commercial aspect of art. He is horrified (translate:goes off on a rant) about people that buy art to match their colour scheme. Me...I don't give a toss. If someone is willing to fork out money for a pink picture, pass me some pink paint. Guess, though, that is why I can count on one hand the things I've sold and he has had gallery showings and everyfink. He also has a huge amount of self belief. What was my point? No clue lol.
Will stick the photo I was working from in the post so you can see the dog. Hope the bloke likes it cause I have no desire to keep rehashing the same image.
I bet he'd have a different view of the things he liked doing didn't sell!! He's just lucky :p I think he's definitely going to love it, now I've seen the photo :)
Meant to add that I like the encaustic stuff better, too. Mind you, I have tons of original art on my walls in the house and only a couple of things are mine.
