I never sell anything or get commissions, maybe I am still not good enough? I don’t know anymore

    A large part of the issue may be that it’s a folder.

    I’m generally buying three rings to be functional and usually hidden in a cabinet or shelf somewhere.

    If I’m going to spend on art, I want it seen. Maybe a scrapbooker would be interested, where they tend to use them as coffee table books. But, it would be a distinct shame for me to stuff work documents into.

    The painting itself is amazing. I like it. (And I actually kind of see some Where the Wild Things Are vibes… not entirely but enough for me get hit with nostalgia, heh.)

      Absolutely agreed on the “it’s a folder”. To me, that gives very “school” oriented vibes, and I know when I was in school I sure didn’t have money to spend on artful folders.

      I like the painting too but I do think op would have more success on a different canvas. That said, if you’re doing it for fun and not for money, keep it up regardless
