Painting Local Interest: John Bishop Fine Art

John Bishop Fine Art : Podcast

Do you paint for local interest? We recently had people come into the studio looking for artwork that represented Texas. What a missed opportunity! I do nothing that represents where I live, and there are alway people looking to buy artwork that reminds them of a particular trip, or a place where they once lived. While I have no intention of just painting cows and barns, I do think it would be great to have some art that reflects where I live, where I'm from, and what kinds of symbols and images that geography brings to me.
