The beginning of change.

No Artist needs to accept no sales.

What we need to accept is what didn't I do that could have made for more sales?

What could I have done better?

What should I have done better?

What didn't I do that could have made a big difference?

It is no good blaming the Gallery, the Art market, the Art Fair, the customer, I am sure they have their faults, but you cannot change them, but you can change you.

You see so often if it is hard to do, we don't do it.

Did you know that most people who pay for on line courses do not finish them and the reason why they do not finish them?

They are to hard.

The truth is, they did not expect it to be so hard and they wanted it to be easy, not hard.

Yet if it was easy, they would not learn anything.

The easy way is to blame everyone and everything.

When there are no sales what we should do is say,

“What could I have done better, that would have given me a better result.”

This is such an interesting question, it lays all the responsibility on me, therefore now I must do something about it.

Things to think about.

All the things you could have done and didn't do.

All the things that were to hard to do, so you did not do them?

Consider your paintings.

How many paintings do you feel you accomplished what you wanted with them?

What paintings could you have done better and improved their chances of sales?

How many paintings did you not give your best effort to?

A personal question, what could you have painted differently that would have stretched you and taken you out of your comfort zone and why you didn't do that?

Learning to understand ourselves.

Self realisation is the beginning of change.
