usually, sad does not sell. i had ppl tell me my work was depressing, even tho that was rarely something is put into it, bittersweet maybe. struggle. but a lot of madonnas, smarmy i always say. but i never sold a damn thing.
i walked through a big art expo here one year and there were sexy nudes and simple line painting of nudes, most w prices double the rest, everywhere. and i just thought sexy is what sells.
shortly thereafter, i hung up my brushes.
