I have a question for all of your art lovers, photographers, painters, and anyone else who love the arts.
You find an artist you really like. It’s a particular form they made that has caught your eye. But when you go to their website there are a number of different forms they dabble in.
How do you know which is their main focus? What they’re known for?
I came across an artist who did abstract photography of things like water drops. When I went to their website, they had different categories to choose from: Human Nature, Landscapes, Abstracts, Commercial Stuff, Services, High Speed Photography, Conceptual, Natural Beauty, Graphic Design, Animals, Bugs, and My Ego.
How do you choose which style to share?
I don’t like to choose one from each heading, for I think it takes away from what the series is trying to convey. It’s like multi-colored confetti.
I may showcase something I think is cool, but the artist is really well-known about some other field of endeavor. That’s why sometimes it’s hard to showcase an artist. All of their talents are amazing, but I can only show off one.
Any advice you have to this newbie art collector would be appreciated.
Sometimes diversity is confusing.
Looking forward to it!

My limited knowledge of the artworld is of not much use to you at all.

That’s not a bad idea. But I do have a boatload of new artists to showcase first!

I don’t really have a suggestion, but I do enjoy the examples you choose to share. Perhaps an artist could be featured more than once, each time showcasing a different medium.
