Throwback Thursday - "Natural Language"
"Natural Language" was a painting I did in 2013. It ended up being one of the first big paintings I sold, and that really boosted my confidence to pursue art as a career! The colors and organic shapes were inspired by nature, plants and earth, sky and flowers. The corners were sort of inspired by the "cartouches" in hieroglyphics that signified a name was that of a pharaoh. I hope you dig it!

Thanks for checking out my blog, have an awesome day! -Adam
I am definitely seeing the hieroglyphics inspiration, I like the piece, I feel like it could hang anywhere where greens or browns are prominent in the pallete.
Where does it hang now? Did it sell for more or less than 1 million? ;p
Found you on the @c-squared blog! Glad I checked there :)
Glad you dig it! It's in a private collection, the person who bought it has it hanging in her home.
I love the term Artrepreneur that you use, it is important to value yourself, and I am glad to be along for the ride here on steem, able to take part on your journey!
Have you made a post yet about how you came to use that term and see yourself in that way? You allude to it here...
Blessings!
I haven't made a post about the term, among working artists it's pretty common lol Basically for me it means knowing I'm running a business, and that no matter how nice my art may be, "build it and they will come" is a movie line, not reality. It's up to me to get my art in front of people and to be able to handle questions people ask. A lot of artists have this idea that if they make nice enough art, a gallery will do all the "business/selling" stuff, but a good gallery will almost never show art from artists who are not already selling art on their own.
