A number of artists paint subjects that sell or are common. Although it's ok for artists to want to sell their work, that shouldn't be the only reason for selecting a subject. Artists should also paint what they are happy painting.
- Traditional landscapes
- Local views
- Modern or semi-abstract landscapes
- Abstracts
- Dogs
- Figure studies (excluding nudes)
- Seascapes, harbours, and beach scenes
- Wildlife
- Impressionistic landscapes
- Nudes
My favorite subjects, antiques, are not on the above list. So what does that say? These past weeks I painted old toys. It was interesting to paint plastic as I had never tried that. Here are two small paintings I completed. I hope to add at least one more to this duo.
Each of these are 8" X 10".
I have a photo of an old jack in the box calling me.
Have a great week,
