Building daily improvements.


If we are going to accomplish all the things we want to as an Artist then we are going to have to work on our lives and our Art with an attitude of building small daily improvements into it to give us a better future.
It will not happen over night and this is the reason why some people give up easily, impatience.
It takes time to develop a painting style.
It takes time to develop a following.
It takes time to develop good sales results.
If you want it to happen over night then it will not happen.
We must have the attitude that we are in this for the long haul and do what we can each day to build ourselves, our Art and our Art business.
To accomplish this we must be determined to become the best person we can be, small disciplines by small disciplines.
Determined to become the best Artist we can be, working hard at painting and our Art Business.
Never being satisfied with an ok job, but only being satisfied with the best job that you can do.
You must do this for yourself, for you, for your self image, for your confidence, to know that deep down every day no matter how repetitive each day may be, that you have given your very best for you, because you know you are worth that and you matter.
The moment you realize this, you and your Art will begin to step into the extraordinary and you will become the Artist you destined to be.
It really is up to you.

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 ...
