What do you guys think? I usually don't ask for opinions on my art..but this is one of the few I feel personally attracted to...so I'm not selling this one...decided to keep it for myself. It's already printed on canvas and museum wrap stretched (50" x 30") and hanging on the wall. I've had one offer so far...but just can't let it go...just wondering what others think of it. Thanks all! :)

Im not familiar with what you do with your photography, but if you do portraits, have you thought of using these as backdrops? Or selling them to local photographers?

Im not familiar with what you do with your photography, but if you do portraits, have you thought of using these as backdrops? Or selling them to local photographers?I sell them as straight up art. But selling/using them as backgrounds is something that I never considered, but sounds like an intriguing idea. Thanks!

This is why this community is so cool. Lots of smart people with good ideas. :)

When I started this particular style about 4 years ago, I had a gallery owner tell me I was nuts. He said whose to stop anyone with photoshop from doing the same sort of thing. I told him that's like saying anyone using paint and brushes is nuts because whose to stop anyone else from painting on canvas. But I guess that's why he runs a gallery and isn't an artist!
