Changed Display
I changed my portrait display at the RRCA yesterday- removed Seaweed Man and replaced it with "210 Hours", 2003- 26W x 33H. "210 Hours" was a requested portrait by my daughter, right subject of right painting, and her friends. I logged the hours it took to create, including underpainting and high gloss varnish (very difficult on "black"). There exists a disparity in the value of an artist's hard work and what the public- at least here- is willing to pay. At $1 per square inch- cheap- the painting should sell for $860. At $5 an hour- not even minimum wage- the painting should sell for $1050.........
