Karin:
Yes, I think that landscape and still life is not too large a leap for the viewing public to make. I think you should be fine with that - especially if everything has a similar "feel".
The thing about humans is that they want to "classify" everything. In the show circuit, you have to grab them and make them pull out their wallets. The artists that do that best are the artists who populate their booth with works within a very consistent theme. Everything is for sale, nothing gets in the way of that "buy me right now" message.
I am going to finish this season with what I have, soliciting portrait commissions. Over the winter, I intend to rethink my whole show strategy with an eye to making the message completely consistent. I too may go with still life and landscapes and drop the portraiture for the show circuit.
You have an advantage Karin in that the East coast market should be much more robust than the market out here.
