For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.


So many people live unfulfilled lives, going through the motions every day, doing a job they do not like and the only thing to look forward to is going home to watch television or the coming weekend.

Most people go through life never doing what there hearts desire is and wonder why they get sick.

We know that hope postponed makes the heart sick.

So many people want to do things that their heart desires but are stopped by fear, what if it does not work out, what if it all goes wrong, excuses.

The thief/fear will do all it can to stop you from achieving the desires of your heart, your inner genius.

For the one who wants to paint the “thief” will say, wait you need more time, your not ready yet, you need to be better, fear wants safe, but often safe is the most unsafe place you can be in.

Safe people hiding from what they truly want to do, are not safe at all and are often consumed with problems both real and imagined because they are not realising their dreams.

Go and paint, if that is your hearts desire, no one said it has to be a masterpiece, it just has to be your original painting.

If you do it, you will find your heart will be fulfilled and you will find your treasure.

Treasure does not have to be money, it can be fulfilment, accomplishment, creativity, contentment and caring for others.

Go and do your hearts desire, that’s where your treasure is..

Your treasure can be just as simple and as wonderful as saying this,

I made this painting, it’s for 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 ...
