My struggle with art.

Lately i am really struggling in my production of art. I love to create art but am feeling very mediocre. I paint realisticly, but not to the point of awe inspiring photorealism, and i have no desire to become that way. I like the looks of it but i just don't want to do it myself. I also feel i am not free or loose either. I paint very controlled with a very clear image in mind of how it will turn out. I wish to become more free with how my outcomes are. However, in school i was critiqued with my art not ending up looking intentional. I push myself but not hard or far enough.

Those that know me say they like my art, and i have been able to get into little art stores which i am still excited about but my art isn't selling and i am unsure what it is people like/dislike about my art. I am not even sure what i like or don't like about some of my pieces, most of the time i like/dislike the same part of my paintings.

I feel i am lacking in direction and inspiration which i have been dedicating most of this time that i have not been producing much art trying to find my way.

If anyone has any imput as to if my art is priced too high or is lacking something or really have any imput what so ever i would love to hear it. I am simply unsure of where i am going.

Gnome re-photographed

"Gnome" 24x18" Acrylic on canvas board 

I wasn't happy with the photos i got of the gnome before, this one still has some glare. But it is better. I'm actually quite proud of this painting.

I know it has been awhile again since i have posted any paintings... I am uploading a few today and am going to get back to painting nearly everyday. I am mad at myself for falling so far behind.
