Quality of artwork

Hi Jeremiah,

I'm not sure I understand the above sentence, but I don't think it's a good idea to put anything less than your very best work out there for the world to see. For any price. Forgive me if I don't understand you correctly, but it seems that you are thinking of selling some lower quality artwork for a lesser price? I would rather throw something out that I'm not completely happy with than sell it cheap. I know it may seem like a quick fix or an easy way to make some money, but I strongly believe it's the long haul that counts. And the payout in the long run will be greater, if you can just hold out. Just my opinion.

Ah, just had another thought. Have you heard the saying that one's portfolio is always judged by their worst work? That scares the heck out of me, maybe that's why I'm so particular about what leaves my studio.

Joan
