Your miracle.

Lets consider the failed opening, no sales and a failed show, what we should have done to keep that from happening and to stay with my theme,
“ The miracle is in the doing.”
What do I think an Artist should do about a failed Art exhibition? 
Lets start from the pain part first, no sales and a lot of money and time invested into a failed show.
A failed exhibition is not good, it hurts, believe me I have been there, ouch!
Now if you knew that doing all that work would produce a failed exhibition, surely you would do it very differently from the beginning?
So instead of waiting to lick your wounds after the exhibition why not start out with a plan to try and make sure that does not happen and the show is a great success.
This is what I think each Artist should consider doing before, during and after the show.
You have finished all the painting and the show opens in a few weeks, what should you do now?
Artists say to me that's a lot of work painting a whole show?
Yes and you have invested a lot of money which you don't want to lose, so do the rest of the work so that you have done all you could do to make it a success.
This really is a mind set friends that you will really need to get your head around, you are the key to your success, do not trust it to others who may not have the same determination and desire as you to make your exhibition a success.
Understand that painting the paintings is only half the work, now you have to market it to the public.
Yes I know it has taken a lot of work to paint all the painting but now you have to do the other work and it is just as important, you have to market yourself, you are the key to your success.
Remember the miracle is in the work.
Tomorrow, three phases of the Exhibition.
First, pre-exhibition.
