you never know, atleast I can't seem to figure it out why certain work seems so popular and others not so much even
if I like one over the other. I have learned I am the poorest judge when it comes the what people with like or not.
This work has just exploded on my Instagram account with likes...

I kinda understand calibrating to an audience, but a caution is perhaps warranted about trying to only conform to opinions outside yourself. It's always good to be open, especially when you're learning (and we're always learning hopefully on some level). But the voice you should always be cultivating is your own.

Trying to figure out what people like is a bit like a puzzle, and I can see the gamesmanship of it as something to keep your motivation alive. But be certain you're not losing the voice inside yourself.

I mean, the corporate wisdom since the internet came onto the scene, and number crunching and data mining and creating business websites that get huge numbers of followers can sell for millions of dollars. All that is contemporary. But stats also show that it's far from infallible. Example of Amazon that follows practically every keystroke to know what TV shows to produce. They got it wrong because they thought the numbers rule, without someone at the helm with experience enough to spot a winner. And so they made a bunch of crummy shows.

Numbers are great when you have someone who can use them as an argument in the whole mix. It needs someone at the helm who has the ability to make decisions using their brain.

So please don't put too much weight on what you think the trending look is. . . unless that's also coming from inside you. Then it's merely another argument in support of what you're deciding to do.

And if you're not looking at this in the way I assume you are, and are merely going "Ain't that peculiar. And go fig, but they like my stuff, so that's a bonus and at least I'm getting noticed", then never mind. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

But don't lose yourself is my caution, for what it's worth.

BTW, I though Eve was a little more zoftic. . .

It looks like mining for gems in the good clay earth.

I guess next one is going to be enttled Three Adams then ..... LOL;):p
I would add my personal like too! On a vaguely Pollockian background there are Kandinsky signs and at least a third other great abstract master I still have to spot for sure. So You probably found a marvellous natural balance of all the composition elements, but You may also have made some subconscious chords resonate in people You may have seen and appreciated those artists masterpieces in their visual experiences.

:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::):):):):):cool::coo l::cool::cool::cool: Thanks DAkey for your wisdom on this, I could not "create to meet expectations of the market" its just not in me to do that, that is
why I steered clear of art as a profession and stuck to computers where I could be creative but in a different way... I was just marveling at what excites others in my work. :cool::cool::):):)


It looks like mining for gems in the good clay earth. hopefully leads to riches :rolleyes::cool::cool:

I try to honor them without copying too blatantly..:):):)
