Where the miracle is

.

How do I break with Artistic traditions and challenge the current Art establishment?
It will take great ideas and determined action.
Ideas are easy to come by, everyone has them.
Excuses are easy to come by, everyone uses them.
Ideas are useless, unless you formulate an action plan and do it.
It is in the doing where the miracle happens not in the ideas.
Some Artists have great ideas and then talk themselves out of them and use excuses for why it could not happen.
Not all ideas will work but you have to action them to see if they do, if they don't, no problem, ideas are in abundance so get more, but the problem is the people to action the ideas are so very few.

What sets Artists like Picasso and Pollock apart from other Artists is that they had good ideas and did them, actioned them and made them happen against what the Art establishment thought was good Art.
To be a true Artist it will take great ideas, the ability to do them and make them into reality and the courage to walk against the current establishment.
Being different might seem like rebelling but to have new ideas and able to make them happen, is revolutionary.
Its takes great ideas to spark great accomplishments, but if you don't do anything about the ideas, then nothing will happen and you will find excuses why it was not such a great idea.
Ideas are easy to come by, everyone has them.
Excuses are easy to come by, everyone uses them.
The doing is the hard part, that's where the miracle is.

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 ...
