Linda! I gotta check in more often. This painting is an absolute jaw-dropper for me.
When is the Texas show?

Linda, just look at how many responses you got to this thread. This is a winner in the making. I'm crossing my fingers.

Well, the Oeuvre of Moi isn't necessarily enriched by paintings that don't actually sell. I'm not sure this is a reliably marketable genre. You should all stop encouraging me.

Oh what the hell!
It is impossible to ever figure out what is indeed marketable, let alone prize winning unless of course you are a Kinkade and get so rich you can do other things with your hands.
Years ago I heard a talk by Alan Stone, of the well known Alan Stone Gallery in NY. He said that the marketplace is the worst judge of art. I think we have all seen that to be true.
What DOES the public want? Do they want to be challenged, enlightened, inspired, pacified, soothed by something pleasant and non-threatening or do they really only want something to go with their drapes. Many years ago, when I was a very young artiste, I was wandering through some of the fancy galleries in NY. At one neo-impressionist gallery where the prices were in the stratosphere I was shocked at the gallery flunkie, who kept valiantly trotting out painting after painting to match a customers drapery sample. I was really demoralized.
Let the public catch up with you.
