Strive for excellence.

There are some Artists I know who make a reasonable living by selling paintings on the street, some do very well in Galleries, some excel in Art Fairs and others in weekend markets, all these Artists in their varied ways are putting their Art out there in the market place and selling it.

Unfortunately there are those who are not working hard at selling their Art and they always seem to find fault with the market, but that is like finding fault with oxygen when it’s all you have got to breath.

Complaining and criticising fixes nothing and it only reveals our inner self.

The best thing to do is learn all you can about the Art market where you live and make the part of the Art world a better place because you are in it.

Don't just find fault, find a way to do it better and strive for excellence.

So many Artists are complainers and believe that they have a right to prosper because they are Artists.

Well you don't have any more right to prosper than any one else on this planet.

If you don't want to work hard at your art, that’s fine, but don't complain about the Art market.

If you don't want to story tell you paintings and who you are as an Artist, that’s ok, but don't criticise others who do.

If you don't want to deal with curators and dealers, you don’t have to, it is your choice.

No one will force you to do anything, just do not complain and mummer and criticise when those who do these things prosper.

This is a business and there is a market and the market rules, you may disagree but the market does rule.

Artist always strive to be the best Artist and the best person that you can be.

Make excellence your Artistic standard.
