Art Work I’ve produced so far (Constructive Criticism encouraged)

I have to chip in and say that these are works of art. Most artist do not make their own paint and brushes so using tools is part and parcel. I work a lot in wood and your choices are sweet. What size are these pieces?

BTW I remember Geoffrey when he was in rainbow;-)

Hi Bruce, they are all 200 x 200 x 30 - 25 mm. And I agree my CNC is a tool that converts my ideas into form :)

my 2p worth... my brother is an amateur photographer specialising in abstracts. he has sold a few pics through an artists collective which sets up exhibitions of local work of all types, photos, paintings, sculpture, etc. suggest you look for something similar

Irvin your brother does great work mate ..

I’m currently talking to some people about the possibility of a mobile Gallery , in the sense of hiring an empty shop for a month in various towns and cities, then renting out wall space, as the lack of galleries near to me is terrible.

Round this way there are a lot of coffee type shops that will let artists hang stuff on the walls. One of my sons use to put stuff up in one of them a few years ago, sold a few pictures but gave up doing it because it also led to people asking him to paint specific types of picture for them rather than what he wanted to do. The customers were always over the moon with what he did but he was never happy with them & just gave up doing it. I suppose that's artists for you lol

You would be better off aiming higher than coffee shops. I would check out the high end Painting shops and see if they will do a feature display for you. They do sales on commission

Stick to doing minimum numbers, people like to collect sets

Hi Martin, yes I know artist are fickle beasts, he obviously loved what he did and not what he might get for it. I have applied to a couple of craft guilds locally if nothing else a panel may like my stuff and want to have a few piece in a n exhibition. This is the north mate coffee shops are rare but I do live near Lytham St Anne’s so there is a lot of collectors in the area. But the majority of shops selling art buy in mass produced stuff and it’s not what I want to display next to lol.
Here’s another piece I did this weekend in Tulip wood, I saw the raw would with this strong vein of black – purple and thought it would add a bit of difference to the finished object.
