Perhaps that's one reason the paintings in galleries have not sold. The last couple of years I have reduced the size of my paintings and they seem a bit easier to sell, although, fortunately, I don't depend on painting as a source of income. <br /><br />I very much admire Qaing's work and the apparent ease with which his small works sell fin DailyPaintWorks.com auctions. He is an excellent artist and has done a great job of marketing his work. <br /><br />Bob Blackmon<br />blackmonstudio.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10246570091707873445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-53222249723584979752014-05-30T21:35:58.735-06:002014-05-30T21:35:58.735-06:00Perhaps part of the puzzle is where the gallery is...Perhaps part of the puzzle is where the gallery is located and whether there is an active collecting community there year-round. linda m levine fine arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903628085391257779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-66873157194475852312014-05-30T21:12:41.604-06:002014-05-30T21:12:41.604-06:00I always appreciate your honesty.

I see you as having tremendous success and sailing through the art world. I guess artists need to always be strong and embrace the challenges of this trade. I would be very curious to know what your impressions are of why the serious paintings in the galleries are not moving. thanks.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04729236047468370512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-88269731187874210312014-05-30T17:51:32.098-06:002014-05-30T17:51:32.098-06:00Good post.
