Some
artists like to date their work on the front of their paintings and others do
not.
I
am one of those that does not like to date my paintings.
In
my experience, most buyers either like the latest and greatest or a classic.
Everything
in between is usually not considered.
Most
of us have not been painting long enough to be considered a classic
and
a few have painted just enough to have older pieces sitting around.
My
suggestion is to not date the front of the painting, but the back.
This
is a great record for you and your future posterity to look back and see your
progression.
At
the same time, it won't discourage a buyer.
