Perseverance.

If there is a road block up ahead then find another way to go around it.

Our perseverance must be to just do it.

Promising yourself you will never give up.

Do not promise others, only promise yourself and be accountable to yourself.

Keep painting until it works.

Keep showing your paintings until it works.

Pay the price until it works.

Be patient until it works.

Never give up until it works.

Do what you can do.

Do the best you can do.

Be the best Artist that you can be.

Be wise, realise that it’s the work that creates the opportunity because the wise Artist knows that the miracle is in the work.

Artists need to approach their Art practice in this way, failure is not an option, so they must be relentless in what they do.

Be focused on success and what you must do to achieve it.

Do not consider you will fail, you cannot consider failure, just keep doing what is necessary until you find a way over or under or around the roadblocks.

Be determined to persevere and never give up and do the work, the miracle is in the work.
