Ok. Now that Art Guild is up and growing, I managed to sell another pen & ink piece today to a very unlikely source: an ex-girlfriend. It may seem odd, and downright weird for many, but it's another piece I can dispose of in my inventory. What surprises me is that most people hated that piece, especially my wife, who thinks its akin to a high school work project.
The truth is, it was a piece I did in Sacramento, with a lazy day that time. My acrylics have barely moved since my last show with Simoun. In fact, none of them have been sold. So, I'm tossing the style out for April's show. It will be all old-Rudy. Or maybe old-Rudy with a "new" twist.
Still trying to find a model who can pose partially nude for me. I just want the shadows or silhouette, which I will fill in with the usual detail, and I think the results will be innovative - a nude painting from afar, but a picture of small houses, people, and vegetation when viewed closer. I also plan to make the Philippine-Spanish style an overriding theme since all my pieces of that mode are sold out. Makes sense, I think.
It's off to painting I go.
