So far as an artist

In my first solo show I sold quite a few works. I was also approached my a man named Ede. He was a pom who was in oz for a short time and loved one of my works. I had a smaller study of this work at home so I sold that to him. I really get a kick out of knowing people enjoy my work. It has spurred me on to do further studies in my landscape paintings. I think I would like to take it larger and see how much emotion and detail I can get out of lines and fluid lines.
I "googled" this man who wanted my work so much and behold he is a neurologist or something of the type. I find it really interesting to find out what the people do or enjoy who buy my works. Yes it does let me know who my markets are but it makes me think a bit...this made me think about form and landscape how we are all part of nature and interact with it.
Here is a picture of the smaller one I sold.........however I felt really bad that I did not sign or personalise the piece for Ede. Maybe next time he is in oz or I am in the UK I can ammend that for him with a gift of a new piece. Oh an he has a site with some fantastic photography...I should be buying his works!
