Reply to comment by AngelicDevilz in [Story]Yesterday I finished my first painting of the year, the Grand Canyon over the Colorado river. I’ve been having to work I tiny pockets of time in between child care so it’s been such slow progress but little by little that sky and those terraces have told their story x by TamsinGDArt

Art is entirely subjective so I absolutely respect my work will not be everyone’s cup of tea. This is a commission piece of the canyon requested by a client who was married there, it is not from one photo but three different photos to get the best aspects of each. En Plein Air is a fantastic way to capture a landscape for sure and something I do obviously do but as I am based in a little village in England the Grand Canyon is a stretch too far to travel to between my daughters naps. I hope you meet with kindness today x

I knew it was pictures. If you wanted to be an artist you should have lived somewhere were abortion was legal so you could strive for greatness. You cannot take commissions and consider yourself a true artist. Art is inspired. It is better to go hungry for art than to debase oneself to the requests of some lesser commissionaire.

I would posit that as the Masters worked almost solely to commissions there are a great deal of people who would hold a differing opinion to you but variety is as they say the spice of life. Still, it’s important to not accidentally be a bit silly on the internet. Have a lovely day x

I don't know why I was such a art snob last night. I don't even like paintings. I did like your sky and cloud lighting though and the feel it gave off of cold summer mornings.
