The fruit of our lips.




In ancient literature it says, “Out of the abundance of the heart a person speaks” we must be careful what we say.
If you speak when you are angry most likely you will say words that you will later regret.
Hard, hurtful, critical words can never be taken back and many relationships have been destroyed by careless words, they become the crack that shatters the glass.
We shall all eat the fruit of our lips, bitter fruit or sweet fruit.
The tongue, according to how it is used by us can bring forth life or death, for speech is the picture of the mind.
Our hearts are revealed by our words.
Our words identify us, we are our words and we must own our words, we cannot blame others and say that they made us say those things, we always have a choice, choose life or death.
Be circumspect with your words, careful what you say, your words are revealing the state of your heart to the world.
A kind caring word is always welcome.

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...
