We haven't had many buyers in our paintings, and of course we believe that our paintings are great! Why don't other people buy them? Are we not advertising them enough? We go to a lot of art shows...anyway, what do you think of these paintings? Do you think they are good? What are your opinions on them?

Took me forever to figure it out. First of all, the art is lovely. But, I copied them all really quickly and scattered them on the floor all together and looked at them from afar. They are "static". They don't move, except for that bright mother/child yellow beach scene. The movement that I'm taking about is ENERGY. Light (and colors) are wavelengths of the electromagnetic energy spectrum which are different wavelengths of bundles of energy called "photons" that are sorta surfing on waves, from close-together waves (gamma rays) down to 75 mile apart waves (radio waves). The use of color in these painting do not account for the human eye weighting of the "compositioning" or arranging by balance of that energy. Make little color quick print outs like I did of all the paintings, spread them out on the floor so that you can see them all at once, sip on a nice white wine and stalk around them, blur your eyes, rearrange them, don't think, just absorb . . .and you'll see what I mean. That stalking will give you new ideas, too, because the work is great, just has a style conflict that cancels out rather than synergizes the energy of your colors and use of light. When color and light is properly seen for what they are, paintings have a energy vibration that rises from the surface about six inches. That's the "movement" I was talking about. I like your choice of subject. Interested in doing the art for the most beautiful children's story you've ever heard? : )

These are very good paintings, clearly by very talented artists. I love the style. However, I think the reason they are not selling is that they are not the type of image's one would hang in their home. As much as I like the paintings, I couldn't imagine one hanging in my house.
Perhaps doing art shows is the best idea. I would also suggest trying to get a gallery's interest as I think these paintings would look much better in a gallery than in someone's home. Try and find some contemporary galleries who may be interested in purchasing your work. If not, posting on sites like this will get lots of people to see it. Maybe someone from yahoo answers will buy one! Good luck!

The art left me almost completely untouched. It's nice motives and all that, but it lacks that extra "umph" that gives a living feeling to it. I think there was two paintings in the gallery that made me feel anything. It's not something I'd like to put on the wall.

i think they're great. i love the one wit the little black girl. but i would have to think that the reason they're not selling good is because people dont relate to them or it's not the type of thing they were "looking" for. a lot of people would either like something pretty, like the purple one, or something they can relate to, like maybe the eagle one ( if in america). But i cant imagine too many people to want to buy a picture of a little black girl unless they themselves are black, or a little oriental boy unless they themselves are oriental. or the religious battle unless they're religious. not that all people wouldnt because they're beautiful paintings. but i dont think they apeal to the "mass" it's sad but true that the obvious things sell. like paintings of flowers and sceneries, beaches, sunrises. and also a lot pf people look for abstract things. but your paintings are great. thats just my opinion on why they dont sell.

for my section, once you're doing identities, then the guy ought to be wakeful doing something that could practice them interacting with their information. i could relatively be happy in case you probably did the 1st or 2d one. i think of the two are super, because of the fact the 1st one shows your identity as a daughter and the guy as your father. The e book could be a remarkable image. on a similar time as the 2d, the pinnacle shot, is likewise appropriate since's asking the viewer to discover an 'identity' on your face... which brings up varied juicy philosophical questions. the two way, you have have been given your artwork cut back out for you! solid success! :D

I like them ,but many of them portray really emotional things. Possibly that could be a reason for them not selling. I would not lose hope, try to get more exposure and more PR.

BEAUTIFULL PAINTINGS! you must not be advertising enough, they are all wonderful works of art! how much for the eagle? do you sell them outright? do you do bidding and if so what is the starting bid? my email: jewllively@sbcglobal.net

They are good if you like that type of art. I think I would display them better though. That would add more eye gazes.
