Artists, what do you believe (and hope) will happen to your work after your passing?

I covered as many types as I could but if you create from nothing, you're an artist or creator of some sort.

I'm not sure. To me, it doesn't really matter. True artists create art because it's something they're compelled to do.

I do 'Pen & Ink', Acrylics, and I'm learning watercolour; I have developed the attitude that what ever happens to my 'art' happens and since I've no control over it ergo I've no worries as to whither it's on display or sent to a land fill.

That it's found, and played, by someone I never met before due to the difference of time from my time of death to the time my works are discovered. Whether or not the works are liked is another story, and at that point is irrelevant to me.

I have a very different style of art and I'm hoping it would be better embraced in the near future. I'm just hoping that whatever I've sold remains on a wall, prominently displayed. And that the person that bought it or had it passed to them by inheritance or gifted speaks highly of it. Whatever is unsold should go towards a veterans' charity organization.
