Be an inspiration to others.




What a wonderful way to approach your Art career and life in general.
We all being watched by someone all the time, so we need to always be doing the best we can do and being the best we can be.
Out there young Artists and new Artists are watching what older Artists are doing and trying to emulate them, to be like them so be an inspiration to those around you.
Remove the hindrances to being an inspiring Artist.
Beware of complaining, be someone who encourages and sees the best in each situation. Complainers are always looking to find fault like it is buried treasure.
Beware of being critical, be the Artist who finds something good to say always and be a helper not a critic. There are enough critics, we need people who can inspire us.
Beware of being lazy, it will destroy any career.
Beware of jealousy, it knows no limits and is the catalyst behind the other hindrances.
You are a unique and original person, put that into your Art, your uniqueness and your original creativity and through you doing that you will inspire others.
You are an Artist so be a leader, people are looking for someone to lead them not disappoint them.
Inspire those who are watching you by being the best person and the best Artist that you can be.

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 ...

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 ...
