RE: Abstraction attraction. Why I get tens of thousands of dollar$ for my paintings.
great job, @arthuradamson ! I love the posts where I can see beautiful paintings and read the thoughts of the artist ^_^
Hey thanks for that.
It is only since I have been here on Steemit that I have actually started telling about my thoughts and experiences of my work and of being involved in the art market.
I have been usually rather reserved about the whole thing.
Artists can be very secretive and also protective of their work you see.
However, after some thought on the matter, I came to the view that perhaps others might be interested in what lies behind my work and I really cant really see what harm it could do.
So I began posting
I felt strange to begin with, but the more I have posted the more it has come to feel quite natural. So far nothing bad had happened lol!
Appreciate the comment, always nice to get feedback @silviabeneforti
"Artists can be very secretive and also protective of their work you see." I know very well what you means, I married an artist ;) In my experience with my hubby, sometimes it's not simple for an artist share his thoughts about his art, because he usually use paintings or sculptures to express himself, the "words" are a different tool to use ;)
Poor you lol!
I understand what you mean and I understand your husband.
It is only recently that I have discovered that I have a joy for writing and I think that is what has made the difference.
I became very ill about 2 years ago with a deadly virus and was flown to hospital by helicopter and not expected to live. I had a painful month in hospital and 8 hard months building myself up again. The virus had attacked my muscles and I could not even lift a book. To take my mind of things I began writing on my laptop and I havent stopped since.
I find it helps to share thoughts. Im far less stressed and much more open these days.
Thanks for getting back.
