the critique goes something like this...

how the collection aligns with the story that my series are telling (corporate vision); I look at the elements within the content - the figures, the colours, the textures, the movement (what makes that person tick);

then I judge the composition - where the focus is, how I lead the eye through and to the focus, what breathing space I give to elements within (the tasks and autonomy to the role);

and technique - whether my skill in execution is improving, is it achieving a portrayal of the emotion and concept I want people to receive, should I look to other artists ? take a course ? practice a technique that will advance both my skill in execution and deliver my ideas in the way I want them to ? (professional development requirements).

Whether I like a painting or not, I evaluate it - sometimes it doesn’t make it to my work for sale, sometimes I rework it, sometimes it inspires a new concept and occasionally I paint over the piece and reuse the canvas (develop or new hire).

Collector feedback - comments, analysis and reception by others also feeds my information line on where my work is at or where it’s going (project analysis, client and customer reviews).
