I have 9 paintings I've started, and no clear direction what to do with them once they are finished. I have no show planned. I don't think I even care about a show. I thought about promoting myself to a gallery, yet I am divided because once again my paintings are evolving. It seems that galleries don't want evolving artists. They call it "underdeveloped". I want a gallery to connect me to my audience. I need a team of people to help me with the advertising of my paintings. I am willing to share half the profit. I am not committed, however, to one consistent "look" to my paintings. The only thing that seems to be holding me back is the consistent-image issue. I literally cannot do one thing. There are galleries that specialize in "early-career artists". I think I can work with that. Ultimately, I am tired of waiting. As far as I'm concerned, an artist is "underdeveloped" for 30 years anyway. I've never seen a good painting from someone who didn't work at least 20 years in the first place. Is an "early-career" gallery my best bet?
