I must resolve to make more comments on other blogs.<BR/><BR/>Ann, commercial viability... or boundries, is in the eye of the art market. As an artist, you have a choice: paint whatever makes you happy or paint what the market wants/needs. A third option, somewhere in the middle, there's a fine balance where you can satisfy both your own creativity and commercial career goals. Finding it is a real challenge!

I would love to have you elaborate more on that issue of commercial boundaries to your work..I can't seem to stay focused on one style long enough to present a consistent vision for marketing purposes..I veer from tight realistic, to impressionist plein aire to abstract expressionism..it all excites me..being so fickle I would like to hear your comments ...ps.

Sounds like this is just one more step in that path of yours.<BR/><BR/>Love your blog and don't comment as much as I used to but I still read it every day (or at least as often as you post).
