I would like explain my two very different types of art and sizing/ prices, because I am conscious it looks a little strange on the viewing page of my website. I have yet to learn how to separate the two into different headings.
I began painting the large acrylic pieces, what I describe as Line Art, or popart themed work when I lived in Cape Town and absolutely loved creating these works. I used to paint mainly women without any facial detail, so slightly more abstract and sparse in composition. They worked and sold well through galleries there.
On returning to the UK for personal reasons, I had to rethink what I painted. I came up with the concept of small oil paintings of anything that caught my eye, fruit, veg, flowers, fish, bottles of wine, donuts, you get my drift. Again, these have done well. People like to have 2/3 in their kitchen and I use bright Mediterranean colours to cheer one up. I kept the price down deliberately, to encourage people who might be new to the world of buying original art. These pieces are painted alla prima, so again take less hours to paint than the Line Art.
But my passion for the Line Art resurfaced and I put my toe in the water with some paintings of swimming pools on the theme of ‘Alone Not Lonely’, ie navigating life alone happily and enjoying the sunshine by a swimming pool etc. These paintings are obviously more expensive at £975 because they are all 90 x 65 cm and a lot more work goes into them, even though they appear more simplistic in style.
Now I am in a quandary; which art do I continue with? Or do I stay with both? Any feedback would be very welcome.

Or advice as to how to split my viewing page to show both styles separately if I am to continue with both!
