Hi MesaBoogie, hey..isn't that an effects pedal...or an amp?

Okay...something tells me that I should tell you this... Here goes.

I saw your other post about whether you should stick with photorealism or follow your heart and go with the abstracts. Here is my advice and take from it what you will. Follow your heart. Your abstracts absolutely ROCK! If you are new to this game maybe this will help. I've noticed in the gallery market that abstracts are hugely popular right now. They seem to sell like hotcakes! Your stuff is fresh, exciting and just a wonder to behold. This is definately your style, and it is a gift, use it. Start painting these on canvas [gallery wrap], panels, or something that has no staples showing on the sides...or find a consistant way to frame them. Paint them in series of 4-5 similar pieces of similar color. Write up a professional bio, along with a statement about your work, print them off. Take the bio [which should include shots of your work] to every gallery in your area. Find local arts organizations and join up, they can help you find venues to show and sell your work. You should be showing. That is what I'd do.....but do whatever your heart tells you. This is just my opinion...but anyway- I love your abstracts. Whatever you do, don't stop painting them.
