As you can imagine it was becoming quite stressful. I am now going back to what i know and save the experimenting for other days. I love the deep colors in your apple.

I have often grappled with that question. It is something to keep in mind so that we don't feel too crazed by working on pieces that will go to galleries for sure, and pieces that are more inclined to be for growth.Elaine Hursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03306074609034271902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992188361901924074.post-44269597835599073962010-11-26T20:01:11.924-07:002010-11-26T20:01:11.924-07:00Prabha, what happens when you appreciate both work...Prabha, what happens when you appreciate both work equally as a buyer, is that I LOVE YOU!<br /><br />Personally I find smaller lends itself to experimenting and pushing boundaries, large is much more daunting and therefore more comfortable to tackle when working within the comfort zone of my current skill level.<br /><br />That said, for some folks, growing and exploring is about painting large. I think it's different for each of us...liz wiltzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11968282661175393214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992188361901924074.post-65069447845182121502010-11-26T19:15:36.300-07:002010-11-26T19:15:36.300-07:00Thanks Liz, very clearly expressed.

It is very confusing at times because without sales, you don't know if your work communicates with people but then, you don't want to succumb to just churning out what sells. Really helpful.
