    I have so many questions that I am not sure will come up in this course. So I am just going to post them here.

    ONE STYLE OR MANY?
    I’ve had mixed advice on having a variety of styles of work on my website or in my portfolio. I get quite bored doing only one type of work. I am a fast and prolific painter and paint figurative, still life, interiors and landscapes. I’ve had the advice that I should keep to one stream and one style and that is what galleries want to see. I can see from a lot of major artists that that is what they do as well. Having to choose is tough. My landscapes are fast, make money, are relaxing to produce but are not a challenge. The figurative work I REALLY love alth0ugh I haven’t found a market that is very strong for sales. Any thoughts?
