Meet the judges

I'm currently trying to decide what to paint next. I've been mulling this over for a while, and I though of a "weird" solution - how about befriending some art-judges, showing them my painting ideas, and having them tell me what to paint?
This would of course be the ultimate in pandering to an audience.

I have recently been struggling with questions about what I want for the future of my art career, how to make it happen, and what I am prepared to do for it. I am starting to wonder if an artist can have financial success without painting what certain gatekeepers want. Would it really be so bad to paint what I know someone else likes? I was gonna paint something, so why not paint something I know people will like - right??
