For a start I think I recognized those three blank canvases – from Tate Modern, South Bank (that’s one of the Tates), and they’re a load of old rubbish! As to a consistent body of art work – I have several different styles and there’s something great about having different styles provided you separate them into categories in order to market them. For example a number of pencil works, a number of acrylics, a number of abstracts etc. I’ve always had a problem with my butterfly approach, but if I was more disciplined about it, it would be much better!

Hi Jo! I love your take: categories and separate series for your art does allow you to have multiple opportunities for investigation and yet keeps it easier for your customer to understand and digest. You are right, it does take a bit of discipline and planning. I’m trying to wait to show my work for sale or gallery promotion until all the work is done to give my viewers that continuity. It’s hard for me though I get excited and want to post! I may choose to offer prints as each piece finishes to compensate for my desire to present the works as a cohesive group.
