Embrace the challenge.

Years ago I had a big one person show called “All the women?” and I had one lady with her faithful husband tell me in no uncertain terms what she thought of my paintings and she finished by saying, “ I find these paintings disgusting!”

Now it stung me but I got a reaction, of course she did not buy one, but many other people did and loved them.

I think Artists are so courageous to show their Art, to make videos about them and story tell them and to put themselves into vulnerable places and embrace it and grow through the experience.

Unfortunately you may be criticised but you will also be praised and gain new followers and collectors as well.

People are looking for Art leaders, so to be seen, you will need to step out of the crowd and walk alone and then others will follow.

Risk being vulnerable when you present your paintings to the public and embrace the challenge of standing strong with your paintings before people.

You paint your paintings for the people who love them, not for the critics.
