[Aquanet] June Theme

Sun Jun 7 13:05:19 EDT 2009

Bonjour 

When I try something new in my production, I explore and work on it until good for exhibition. I add it as a new series and keep doing the previous ones. This way, many clients are happy and I can continue research on new approaches or new subjects.

I have a few paintings of abstract watercolors, I've never shown them in public because I don't produce enough paintings of that kind a year to exhibit them. In the meantime, I keep them.

  Hello Everyone,

  All of the entries for the June Theme are terrific.  I am busily working away on mine.  A close-up is something I would never have chosen to do on my own but I am loving the challenge.  That is what I like so much about these monthly themes.  They push one to try something that otherwise wouldn't get done.  It's fun!

  I had an interesting discussion with a friend who is an award winning photographer.  His work is beautiful!  Recently, he started playing around with photoshop, manipulating his photos in various ways.  His wife, and some of the buyers of his work are not loving his new approach and he asked for my opinion about experimentation versus tried and true work.  Well, I haven't really sold enough work to have a client base that might not like my new work but when I do try different techniques, friends and relatives are quick to state their opinions.  Still, the need to be creative and experiment is there and needs to be fulfilled.  

  I advised him to play and enjoy being excited by the new possibilities.  He could do that and still take the photographs that have been his mainstay.  He seemed relieved to be given permission to have fun!

  Have any of you dealt with the dilemma of doing work that you know will sell versus throwing caution to the winds and venturing out of that safe zone?

  I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this issue.

  Regards,

  Judy Silver
