monet's captivating pond...

filled with colorful waterlilies and a bridge overlooking it. a very lovely painting. you could only paint one masterpiece and mass produce it. financially, you will be rewarded depending on how your work of art is liked by the masses. but if you fly against the wind then it is a hard sell for you. know what your customers want and play with that and not what you want then you won't be nursing a total d-isappointment in your art. this is only my observation...for there are a lot of competition out there with awards in their belts to boot...if i am an artist i will work with this in mind. for after all a client will look for something that is about them or connected to them and not about you the artist. but it will help if they liked you. they will take a second glance at your works. you need to satisfy their needs first or what they're looking for....the secret to a sale...but of course you needed to be good as well or you needed to deliver the goods in the way that they wanted it to be :) the masters had known these for centuries, my guess, like the great Leonardo da Vinci, with his works in the Sistine Chapel and the frescoes of Michelangelo in there as well, the best western paintings acknowledged so far :) and don't forget the Mona Lisa with that enigmatic smile. although it can't light up a room, it commands your undivided attention...(^_~)...even my mother took notice for God's sakes, laughs. the song is her favorite as well. she'd been humming it all through out my childhood years, i can't ever forget that, laughs.
