I found this little painting of flowers. It's small and unassuming. I wish the person had gone a step further and put in a window or a little night table or something. Wouldn't it had been great if the petals and the faces of the flowers went in a few other directions. So that we saw the backs of some of the flowers that would normally have been in the back of the vase. A single light source would have made it slightly more dramatic, something in the background too would have added a little depth and dimension, clean paper maybe? But for some reason I find something charming in it. Would I ever buy it? Now that's a different story. The artist wants $75.00 for it. Perhaps if it was in a gold frame? I'm not even so sure that would help me out. Once upon a time I would have tried to sell something like this myself. Now I give pieces like this away as birthday cards or book marks. They're sweet but I'm not sure they're worth a price tag.
If you did this painting, would you try to sell it and for how much if you did?
I've been told that I am being a bit like 'Simon'. So be it. Anyone can call themselves an artist but does everyone have talent? Or are these cute little paintings exercises and practices? Are they masterpieces?
Thanks for your thoughts!
