Strengthen your heart.



Sometimes is does feel like the journey is to long.
I was reading last night this sentence in an old book and it made me think of many Artists I know who are finding the struggle a little overwhelming, it says, “ let us not grow weary while doing good for in due season we shall reap, if we do not loose heart.”
I thought that this was so applicable to the Artists life.
We will reap the benefits of all the hard work, if we do not loose heart and do not grow weary in doing good.
We grow weary and loose heart because it does not seem to be working no matter how hard we try, just one problem after another, yet we are doing all the right things.
Working hard on our Art, making the personal changes, learning new skills, reading the books, maintaining a positive attitude and yet it all seems to going forward so slowly and we question, why?
This friends is the beginning of growing weary, questioning ourselves.
This is not the time to loose heart and question what we are doing, but to strengthen our hearts, it is the time to push through the questioning, because if we do not loose heart our due season will come.
The harvest may be today or tomorrow, it will come.

Every day is so unique in itself and unbeknown to us the due season may have started and we just have not recognised it yet.
Do not grow weary, keep doing good, don't always question yourself, just don't give up, don't loose heart, strengthen your heart and have the resolve to be there until it does work and your due season will come..

Why don't people want to pay what my art is worth?

                                               Why don't people want to pay what my art is worth? I keep reading on an artists group pages again and again the same old question, “ I cannot sell my art for what it is really worth?” This is always a question raging in the art world, sort of the never ending question. Every artist has an opinion about this and it sometimes sounds like whining and of coarse they do not want to hear any opinions that differ from the fact, that their art is worth far more than they can sell it for. Of coarse my opinion comes from my experience with Galleries and collectors and of coarse artists and you may not agree with me and that is fine and I hope I do not upset to many people but lets take a look at the reality of the situation. First lets establish this that the price an artist can ask for a painting has nothing ...

“ I wish I had learned about this when I was trying to sell my paintings.

Your weakest skill, sets the height of your success. If you don't know your best skill, you had better find out your weakest skill, because its the weakest skill that holds you back. As Artists we so often coast along depending on our strongest skills to get us through, never realising that it is the weakest skills that hurt us the most. Now I have learned what not to do, because as an Artist I never did this but after years in Galleries I wish I had, it was a weak skill that determined the height of my success. Question, “From your last exhibition or showing, what was the worst part?” Now you cannot criticise anyone or anything, this is all about you. I don't want to hear about the terrible Gallery, terrible economy or the terrible public who just didn't appreciate your work. No, no blame on anything, just talking about you. What could you have done better? As a gallery person I now sit on the other ...
