A friend of mine had seen this piece I did recently like all others I do on cloudscape... Now the thing is he runs a fine art business and thinks that my cloudscape (some) could be fine art pieces! Would you spend the money buying it as a segment piece or a piece of tranquility and peace?
If you comment how much would you pay?
Lighten the blue a bit and I sure will :)
So is this light enough?
Better😀
Thanks for the feedback.....
Absolutely, Bobby. If a century ago Marcel Duchamp could tip over a porcelain urinal and enter it in an exhibition as a sculpture, "Fountain" (you can buy a replica if you're keen!), or more recently an artist could present a can of his own faeces as an art object... well, you're in front here!
Richard Misrach and Joel Meyerowitz are just two renowned US photographers who have published portfolios of either pure cloudscapes, or containing cloudscapes.
This could be an abstract painting. It also reminds me of an image of my own that might be the banner image if I manage to stage an exhibition with a friend, where my part would be called "Big Sky". Here's the banner version.
If it's pretty, it'll probably sell. Can't argue with beauty. The more you charge, the more likely you're to be taken as a "serious" artist - which may not translate into sales. But aim high, in whatever way feels right to you. (Lke my pretentiousness to even talk about staging an exhibition!)
;-)
Thanks Chris, it means alot! Im always finding your feedback very helpful.... I have such an abundant feeling for cloudscapes I really love the way the clouds Cascade off the Sun in the jet stream of nature. And your peice is so beautiful, i love it.....
Thanks, Bobby. Keep at it. More clouds!
I could definitely see someone paying to hang this on their wall.
Cost is always a tricky subject. As Chris indicates the more you charge the more seriously you may be taken as an artist, but that comes with caveats;
1) you will likely have to offer as a limited edition (and be sure to stick to that agreements).
2) then end result needs to ask the asking price - ie print of the highest quality, signed as a limited edition, inserts/packing/promotions etc to reflect that high standard. If shown in a gallery then the framing etc must be of superior quality to support the asking price
The other option, of course, is to target the masses, with price and respective quality geared more toward making it affordable (and potentially selling more).
I'd love to hear how this turns out - the market is so saturated so it's a matter of getting in front of the right buyer.
