Advice On Abstracts

According to some experts, abstracts are leading the world of art.

Hummm I can't define abstract. I think some of the things in your gallery fit what I feel is abstract, most don't. Sove are very good some are to be frank IMHO bad.. But as Edward says abstract leads art because each viewer can see something in it.

if it can print, leave it there, you never know what might sell for you.

agree with Mike I am often surprised by a sale of something of mine that I wouldn't buy.

Thanks all feel like you are being way too nice for instance...David please let me know which ones are very bad and it would help if i knew why. I really want a critique!

Well done, Anne! Thanks for sharing !

Anne,

I'd leave ALL the abstracts. As mentioned, you never know what will sell here.

This image above, seems to me, a bit soft or slightly out of focus and maybe not evenly lit. Compared to your other copies, this looks like it needs another copy made,

I especially enjoy these:

Thanks all!

If it passes your inner artist voice, then that's all you need to know. People know what they like when they see it. Hard thing is how do you search for an abstract?

...

Abstracts look great on products like pillows, totes and cases.

Anne, if you like them, keep them. Technical advice aside, anything you hear from us will be just opinions, and you already have an opinion -- your own. If you're not pleased with them . . . well, that's another story.

In 2015, and so far in 2016, I've sold more abstract images than anything else. You never know what a potential buyer is looking for.
