Do what you love

Painting is my muse. It is what makes me happy. It is what pays the bills.

Today I am reviewing 2011 and writing goals for 2012.This is the time of year when I really take stock: reflect with pride on my accomplishments in the past year and think of them with fondness and what strengths I used and how I developed more capabilities.
When I was...
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

- John Lennon (1940-1980), Musician, singer, songwriter, founding member of the Beatles

Got love it ...yah yah yah

The Balancing Act

The Balancing Act

If you are like me you have to balance so many things at one time it becomes hard to focus on what is the most important.

 I need to really focus on improving my art. I also want to take my career into my own hands. This means that I needed to spend a considerable amount of time marketing.

So I have to get better at reducing the busy work that is not productive.Eliminate the time wasters and focus on the tasks that will get you to your goals. 

Instead of trying to sell and market to everyone,I must begin to focus
on a very specific audience. My target audience.

By focusing on a specific audience, I'll be much more likely to
figure out what that audience wants and understand how I can
best serve them.

Once I know how to serve my audience really well, I can use
that knowledge and understanding to expand.

Now I can really focus on what is important to me improving my art.

Lets get creative

Fat Christmas Cat

What inspires your creativity?

Is it a person?

A place?

A mood?

A season?

A time of day?

A piece of music?

Another artwork?

Is it something refined and artistic?

Or as down-to-earth as the need to pay next month's bills?

For those still looking for a last minute gift, remember that a painting is a truly unique gift and one which will give pleasure to the recipient for many years!

Has the art world turned is's back on you?

"Despite my extremely modest prices, dealers and art lovers are turning their backs on me. It is very depressing to see the lack of interest shown in an art object which has no market value."  (Claude Monet)
I am sure we have all had a moment were we have felt this way.
The economic recession could bring new meaning to the term “starving artist.”
It’s never easy to sell art, and it gets more difficult during a recession
Things you can do while sales are slow:
1. Paint more and learn more. Takes those chanse you were afraid to. So just dive in and get those bruses covered with paint.
2.Market your business

3.  Upgrade your Internet presence How is your website looking? What about your Facebook page? Your blog? Your other Internet sites

4. Clean the Studio organize those files.
5.Take a creative art trip.Paint on site, visit other artist studio,network,go to galleries. Visite area where you think you might like gallery representation and see if there is a gallery that fits.

Get more Traffic to your Blog

Use Blogger Groups/Tribes

One of the most common ways to drive traffic to your blog is by making use of blogger groups or tribes. In most cases, these tribes consist of a group of bloggers with the same goal, interested in sharing their audience to help each other get better results. In other words, if there are 100 people in a group with 900 Twitter followers each, every member will share the post of each other with their followers, and combined, that means the message of a single member will be able to reach up to 90,000 Twitter followers. There are a lot of groups online where this is done manually, but one great website that has automated this, and that has a great user base already, is Triberr.

Don't waste Time.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.”
- Steve Jobs (1955-2011), Inventor, entrepreneur, Founder of Apple Computer and Pixar
