RE: When is a Painting done? And Art Curation of the Future.
Honestly, I still feel like 90% of all my work is just works in progress as years later I will pick a piece up again and completely change it from its original state.
I like picking up a piece sometime later as it feels like past self did all the hard base layout for me and now I can just take it easy with the piece. I imagine it a lot like the hobby of puzzle making. I can enjoy reworking it because there is no stress there, the works done.
Newer pieces are usually stressful because I am trying to improve myself. Old pieces I can see where I have room for improvement.
I try not to think too deeply about others work because art, like you said, is subjective.
Just do what pleases you and everyone else can make up their own oppinions.
I was gonna ask - do you make much in that shop? Been thinking about starting an online store. Was gonna try Etzy.
I make a pretty good daily stream of money, not tons. But at least a couple things a day sells on there, so I keep it going. Although, since Steemit, I haven't added to many things lately. I am working on a separate site that will be supplying those type of things through an outside vendor so I can earn more per piece then I do on there, but it's still in process. I think it's worth a try.
I only ever did etsy years ago when I was into reselling vintage things, not my artwork.
