My friends you will not get this day ever again in all your life, so don't waste it.
Paint, even if you paint a bad painting it is better than painting no painting at all and we do need to get all the bad paintings painted as well as the good ones.
Make this day count for your future, put in a little more effort than you need to, paint some, read some, learn some, meditate, write in your journal and give someone a hug.
You will never have the opportunity to live this day again in your life, so live it to the fullest, no time for anger or jealousy or fighting.
Reach out and love those around you, you do not know how long you will have them with you, even the difficult ones.
Be a role model always, you never know who is watching.
Make every day a positive, productive day for you and your art career and those that you influence.

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 ...

Show your work.

If one critic says your Art is good and another says you Art is bad who is right? It is strange how we thank the first critic but believe the second critic. No one has the right to criticise your work, only you. Most when asking for criticism are really asking for praise and if negative comments come they are hurt. Do not ask for criticism ever. You and only you can validate your work as you created it. The market will decide if it is saleable, but that does not mean it is good or bad, just means it is saleable. If Art does not sell, that does not mean it is bad Art or rejected Art, it just means that the right person who you painted it for has not turned up yet to buy it. You must show your work. You must believe in your work and always say positive things about your work outwardly and internally. More Artists have destroyed themselves by constant internal criticism than by Art critics. Do not become the internal critic that sabotages yourself. Be proud o...
