I like paintings that go beyond being a pretty picture. Sometimes the picture isn't pretty. What I mean to say is paintings that suggest an event or a feeling to me are far more exciting.
It's how it's painted together with subject matter and composition that when combined bring out a message for the viewer to interpret in his/her own way. It might mean different things to different people, but it sends a message.
Sometimes I can't paint because I'm searching for a message. Another pretty picture doesn't fill the bill. And yet landscapes sell best according to what I read. But landscapes too can be meaningful with the right subject matter and composition.
