RE: Abstraction attraction. Why I get tens of thousands of dollar$ for my paintings.
Hey thanks Barry.
Yeah I quite enjoyed writing this one.
Thought it was on time I told a bit more of my world, so to speak lol!
I still own this painting but have had several offers on it but I have said "no" for sentimental reasons I guess. One was a big time art collector from New York who offered double my asking price. However he was an real arrogant type and I just couldnt let him have it. He was furious and stormed out.
I guess he was used to getting what he wants lol!
It was turning point in my work you see so it was hard to let go of it.
It has been featured in several art magazines around the world.
However, I will probably let it go this coming summer season.
I am working on a new style now and when an artist does that they want to move on. It is at that point they are ready to sell their older work.
By selling them off it forces the artsit to produce more.
Its all about motivation.
Im glad we are friends too mate.
Life is much more interesting when you are friends with people of different backgrounds and lifestyles. In this way I can learn and grow in ways I never would or could if I just stuck to my circle of work.
Cheers Barry.
You should send a copy of this blog post to Elon Musk with a print of it, though you have said until you are in front of this piece, nothing else does it justice.
I would like to see it get a proper home and he can afford it LOL

Please give our friend's work a good home!!
Ha ha perhaps you are right.
You know, paintings have a way of finding the right person.
I am intending on doing a post about that actually.
For example, one collector pestered me for three years for one particular painting.
He had a good eye for art because this painting really was one of the best I had ever done. He was millionaire who owned a yacht building firm here in Norway.
I kept saying no to him until one day he brought his wife and she softened me telling me just how much her husband loved the painting.
They came back a month later and I said "Yes".
I am not kidding you, the guy actually broke down and cried right there in my gallery. I was a little embarrassing but it was very moving.
I mean he was paying me a high price for the work and yet it was as though I was doing him the favor lol.
I used the money to buy my beautiful Special Edition "Dolphin" Mx5.
Wow man. I am not from that world so this has really been something learning these things today about you.
Thats great to hear Barry. I never expect if what I post will ever even get read or make anyone see things differently or learn from it but I find I like sharing so why not. I was just heading off to your post now - about what people are trading on crypto
