At the 17th Street Festival, a gentleman looked at my work and asked why I had such a range of styles. I told him I enjoyed trying different things. He seemed displeased and left. Days after, I thought about that brief encounter and deemed it unfair. He hadn't seen my portfolio. I had only several pieces on the table which was a tiny fraction of my body of work.
I also realized that most galleries expect a single theme and style from each artist. Much as I would like to get the attention of galleries, I would be bored doing just faces or trees or stripes. I'd like to challenge myself and do something different every once in a while. Nothing shocking, mind you. I guess, it all boils down to one's personal choice.
