John French - Lonely City, Acoma Pueblo- Oil - Painting entry - November 2012 | BoldBrush Painting Competition
I've entered an art contest! It's kind of big news for me, since I've avoided such competitions, wishing for sales to be my prize.
I'd really like to get my name out to the rest of the country! Don't get me wrong, the local art market in Upper Michigan is decent, but I can't fulfill my goal by selling just here. That problem has been fully understood today (11-9-12) as one of my galleries closed. The Vertin Gallery in Calumet has stunned its artists by announcing yesterday that they'd be done today.
So I'm looking at distant horizons, trying to figure out how to get there. I decided to test the market a little by seeing how I measure up to hundreds of other artists. So far, my painting, shown below, is doing well as far as Facebook 'likes' go. Check it out; click the link above or the picture below, give it a thumbs up, and visit my website for new art!
