      Def! For me, and I don't think this is too unusual, it's a mix: in terms of the pieces I make, I think of them as falling into four fuzzy-edged buckets: (1/)https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1298642419362209792 …

      I'd love a thread on how you sell - do you paint to order, on spec, some mix? Sell through XYZ website, or galleries, or ?

      The first are totally formal commissions. We agree on specifications & a price, generally the collector pays half upfront nonrefundable, half upon acceptance of the finished piece. (2/)

      The reality often varies; if the commission is for something demanding & ≈impossible to sell otherwise, like a portrait, it's firmer; if it's something easy or that I could readily sell to someone else, like a small still-life, I may just paint it. (3/)

      The second bucket are what I think of as informal commissions: someone with whom I have an established relationship says, "man, I sure would love a painting of a model holding a pheasant to put in this space here." Mysteriously, I buy a stuffed pheasant on eBay and proceed. (4/)

      The third bucket is pieces for a specific show or gallery, but that have no specific buyer already in mind. Either pieces that conform to a specific theme, or that I think will fill out a body of work for a solo show. (5/)

      For instance, I show with Brandt-Roberts Galleries in Columbus, http://brandtrobertsgalleries.com/kendric-tonn  ; they have a variety of paintings, and a few will always be hanging in the gallery, cycling monthly. However, the last big still-life I painted/ (6/)

      was for a themed show, where I was asked to use a specific dominant color in the work. Show would have been in May, will be in '21 sometime probably. (7/)

      The last bucket, and BY FAR the largest, are pieces I just paint, without a strong buyer, show, or destination in mind. I'm aware of questions of salability, certainly; I'll have ideas about what I might do with them. But these pieces are motivated mainly by: (8/)

      Who happens to be available to work with; my own schedule; my own whims; and particularly, I just tend to paint in loose series that are mainly about investigating some specific artistic question, which I then later cull failures from and try to show/sell the rest. (9/)

          I keep almost all. Occasionally one will end up being reworkable a year later, or small things at the "I wouldn't show this but it's fine" level I might give to the model
