Thanks for the suggestions about sketches and landcapes but I really don't want to dilute my message with other types of work.
I think if I submitted my current portrait samples as "figurative works for sale" that I wouldn't be accepted into the show. I don't think they're the type of paintings that anyone would buy, other than the people commissioning them. There's sometimes a fine line between figurative and portraits but I think my samples (as you can see on my website) fall very clearly in the area of commissioned portraiture.
