selling fine art (1)

Where have all the painters gone?

From an email I recently received:

I just wanted to give you some feedback on some of the recent shows that I have been to.  Yesterday I went to the Nashville show and there is so little painting and fine art.  I specifically went there to find a painting and I counted about 5 people. The previous week I went to Franklin Tennessee ready to buy and nothing.  Why are there not more original painters?  I am so tired of looking at all photography.  Anyone can take a picture and frame it, but it takes real talent to paint.  I would like to see more original art.

We have lived here for 10 years.  We are originally from the Chicago area. I do see that there are lots more fine art shows in the midwest and Florida, but the drive is just too far. I miss all the great art in the Chicago area and suburbs! ... I do wish that more of the promoters would put more fine art dealers in their show.

Thank you.

Why isn't this solid customer finding paintings at the shows? Can you help explain it?
