Up A Tree
I drew and painted this upward view of two trees several years ago. I have since enhanced it a bit and the final is shown here. My wife (who is my biggest fan and best critic) said it would never sell because it looked like a carrot with its greenery (Hello, Elaine. How's your imagination?). I made a print of this for a show. A customer walked in, took one look at it, and purchased it immediately. That is why I have learned, if I don't like a piece or my wife does not like a piece, I display it at a show anyway. It seems there is something about any art that may tickle someone's fancy and it may sell. Since the painting is already done, I may as well try and sell it! I really have nothing to lose. 11" x 14", ink and watercolor.

your work is amazing!
Thanks, Deb and Joseph for your comments. Come back and visit again some time.
Hi Terry, thanks so much for visiting my blog and my poppy paintings:) Nice to meet you and your art! And it is so right what you say here, that even if we ourselves are very much in doubt concerning this or that painting we have done: someone will teach us that it is not up to us to decide if THEY will like it or not:)
I love these tree stems, their partially coloured bark and the dark mass of leaves above it all, it makes me feel small and nature grand!
Have a wonderful day and talk to you soon.
Greetings from Paris
