Back to the topic of Trump's Apprentice. The group that won chose to sell the works of an artist who had created original oils to sell. The other group chose a digital artist who, regardless of the content of her images, was selling large digital prints for four thousand dollars each. When people buy art, they want something tangible for their money.
I think this bodes well for us as portrait artists. People want real art hanging on their walls. No photo or digital print can replicate the appeal of a genuine hand made piece of art. A portrait offers a unique appeal that technological solutions can never replace.
