I suggest you go to artspan.com and see how other photographers are displaying their work, it's a great site and also has a friendly forum. From what I gather, this is not your real site, just a practice site you are testing . You also seem to be using it as a portfolio to show that you can take real estate photos, museum tours, I think you need a focus of some kind as far as selling your flowers, have more of them in that section . The daisies are the one I like least because it does not look like a photo . It's good for you to ask for feedback here but if you want to test saleability, possibly start on ebay or etsy, see if they really sell. Good luck in your budding career !!

Art is such a personal thing. The kincaid in the original post strikes my heart with fear (I hate them...they're creepy IMO) and yet my best friend loves the horrible things. I don't look for art and would never go shopping to fill a space, from a galary or mall, because it never works. Instead when I'm out and about, sometimes art just happens along my path. Sometimes I find it in the attic LOL You just never know. I have a gorgeous bronze nude in our front parlor. If you would have asked me if I'd have a gorgeous bronze nude in my parlor prior to us seeing it at an auction I'd have probably laughed in your face, but when I saw her I just had to have her. DH and I both love her and she fits perfectly in the room. In the same room there is a tin lithograph of a steam ship. Huge thing from the turn of the century. I tripped over it at an antique show and it wouldn't take no for an answer. As to the pet picture...I'd encourage you to have a good artist paint your puppy. A dear friend of ours just lost their kitty. They do not have children and their kitty was their baby. We had a local artist paint him from photo's for them as a suprise gift in his memory when he died. It did bring tears, but it also evoked positive memories for them as well. He was a wonderful friend to them and memorializing the dear boy in a quality art piece was worth every penny to us and to them :) Art should be that personal IMO Stay away from the Thomas Kincaids please :P

Everdebz, to answer your questions... I don't know how big my dining table is (I haven't seen it in 1.5 years). It seats 6 comfortably or 8 if you crowd the ends. I prefer to keep it to 6. Yes, I am still looking for large scale, abstract, minimalistic art in any colors except red and yellow. I especially like black (if there was a darker color it would be my favorite), grey, dark to medium purple, and dark or rust orange. I'm not a huge fan of whimsical or fantasy. I wouldn't do 3 paintings to make 1 or have something that yells modern cliche to me. I would say I have a thousand dollar taste on a five hundred dollar budget, every time I see some thing I love, I wish it were about half the price. I do understand artists and art dealers need to make a buck but I think my expectations thus far exceed my pocketbook's depth. :)

i have not been here or spoken in a while. but i have been checking in. you may not have noticed but i while back i suggested putting it with other things that are important to you in your life to make it kinda personal collage wall. In this case i think that all this stuff about like or dislike should not matter. you said they were someone really close to you. therefor they gave you this for a reason. maybe you need to ask them the reason, or spend more time looking at it. There are a few things in my home that i do not really like but i honor them anyway. one is a bracelet, made of a tail of someone. I hate it, as i do living fur things. but a very very important woman, whom i really respected gave it to me, because i said "Oh, i am just dying for one of those!" she totally missed my sarcasm. she moved heaven and earth to get me this, because they no longer had them, and it made her late to a party, because it came late.The lesson and the respect she showed for me that was what was beautiful. sometimes i think we just worry too much about ourselves and no longer have enough respect or concern about others or how they matter in our lives. Also i have looked at it alot now. If you look at the red is I believe that it represents how she has accomplished every thing with so much of herself she bled. all the hard things women do. birth, keeping your figure heart, etc.
