Only a few done years ago were sold locally. Nothing sold on line yet. The new ones displayed which I indicated 'sold' were actually barter traded or given away as gifts, because Artbreak only has options for 'not for sale', 'for sale' or 'sold'. Besides, I consider my works being on the learning curve. But I'm keeping them just the same because they may become collectors' items later. (That is, when my signature becomes a household word like Renoir or Matisse... hahaha).
I targeted a solo exhibition within 2 years, but I think it's a little too ambitious. It's not a joke. The competition is great. There must be millions of artworks for sale online. But I need the dream to stay alive. Today the dream, tomorrow the reality... this way I keep my mind forward looking. I only recall the past when I have to know where I stand, or to give some pointers to the younger generation. I must be in between as even my teacher is still learning...
i am so impressed
ReplyDeletethanks, Beng. I wish more people are impressed... and impressed enough to buy...
ReplyDeletenever know you are a good artist.
ReplyDeletehahah... full of surprises am I? used to be very interested in it, but afraid to starve.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep doing that while I continue self-training. That's why I had to wait until retire.
ReplyDeleteCan't afford to let my family starve...
