Switch to giving instead of taking.



If you want to be a successful Artist then you will need to be successful within first.
Being successful in dealing with bad habits.
Being successful in dealing with bad attitudes.
Being successful in dealing with bad behaviour.
Being successful in dealing with bad work practice.
These and many more need to be conquered within so we can see the results translated into our lives.
The truth is we never grow taller than the person within and it is mostly the person within that is holding us back from being the wonderful success that we are destined to be.
The unseen issues that hold us back.
As we work hard on these inward issues and overcome them the more outward success we will see, both as a person and as an Artist.
We can change our inward negative story and then that will change our life.
Work on the bad habits and turn them into successful habits.
So often it’s just a simple switch to giving instead of taking and hurting.
Give encouragement, not criticism and ridicule.
Give praise, don’t find fault.
Give patience, not impatience and annoyance.
Give hard work, not laziness and excuses.
Give a smile instead of a frown.

It’s what we give out that counts and says so much more about who we are on the inside.
I have found in dealing with people, encouragement and a smile works so much better than criticism and a frown.
Give a smile and you will most likely receive many more in return.

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 ...
