Oil on Board, 12 x 17 inches
I painted this a couple of
years ago and have revisited it, adding some Fallow Deer for interest,
repainted the background and reframed it. Sometimes there's no reason
why a painting doesn't sell, and other times it's obvious. Not sure
which sector this fits into, but you as an artist have to put yourself
into the shoes, or eyes, of a buyer and ask "would I buy this...does
this have what it takes for me to fork out my hard-earned money?" A
painting has to have a hook, be it bravura brushwork, a familiar place, a
romantic vista, an atmospheric quality, a light effect...some sort of
impact on the viewer. I think this one is better now, but we'll see by
the reaction in the gallery!
