Do you despair? Do you repaint? Do you leave it in the corner of a closet to be forgotten? :o)
This is one of my Fridas. At the time I though she was so cute and funny... I was making funny looking people and all of them sold but her. It's been ages and all she gets is a quick pass through. So I decided she needed a fresh start!
What do you think? Darker background, face lift, darker hair and jewelry. She is ready for a Fiesta :oD
Sold
Well... enjoy the rest of your day!linking to Paper Saturdays
Great question!
ReplyDeleteI strongly feel there is a buyer for everything. It's just a matter of how long you want to wait.
I like to change things around often at the shop I'm in,remove, replace and rest. Take something out,give it a rest,replace it with something new. Bring it back another time.
Hugs, Amy
I know exactly what you mean, I'm going through those thoughts right now. It's hard not to let it get to me as I'm so critical of my work anyway.
ReplyDeleteI think I just don't network enough but to be honest apart from having a blog and a facebook page as well as etsy I don't know what more i can do so perhaps my art is missing something? hmmmm
As for your Frida's I definitly like them both but I have to say the additions you gave her have stepped her up. Even though I really like the original too :0)
Oh yes, she looks better now with the dark hair.
ReplyDeleteI like it.
have a great week

Y'know....I never think to re-do...I just reduce...the price, that is...haha!
ReplyDeleteIn this case, though...I think you're on to something. I liked her before, but I like her even more re-done. I hope this helps find her a new home....fast!!!
I like the polka dotted dress, too :)
Martha, very nice! It's amazing doing something a little different to the painting, can change it so much! You know, if something doesn't sell right away, I don't get down on myself. I might change it a little, or wait for the perfect buyer ;o)
ReplyDeleteShe looks great... definately better with the darker hair and the wee wisp in front!
ReplyDeleteShe looks much better, great 'make over'!!! I got the little mermaid in the mail today (the 'OWOH-prize') and I love her!!! Thank you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the re-do. When in doubt...I just blame the economy! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe dark hair looks a lot nicer, really brings out her eye:)
ReplyDeleteI hope you managed to sell her Martha. Happy Paper Saturdays.
