For those whose results don't match their expectations
For those who are afraid to start and take action. I did and redid. Corrected, changed. I never looked at stores and galleries and thought, "That's it, perfect forever." No. There were 6 websites. I left 2 of them. And constantly adjusted one according to the buyers and readers. Of the planned and proposed courses, only half "worked." From this half, only a few survived. The rest fell apart into pieces and will be incorporated into future projects.
And that's normal. Testing your ideas and gradually mastering the skill of articulating ideas clearly for others. And bringing them to fruition as a complete project cycle. And tons of texts, videos, different forms, and so on. Because. When you start, especially when you start, you almost always do things wrong, or slowly. Or you get something completely different.
The secret is that if you don't start, nothing will happen. At the beginning, you don't really know yourself and your paintings. And what you want from whom, you imagine in a fog. Especially by what means. Hence the mistakes and hesitation. It's like in intimate relationships. The better you know yourself and your desires, hear your feelings and your partner, the more often you engage, the more pleasure and orgasms you get. What do you think?
What to do if you have a closet full of paintings
And buyers have disappeared forever beyond the horizon?
Start crying and don't stop! And then buyers will surely come to the miserable, feeble-minded artist. To paint a fence and quietly haul away the paintings.
Start pitying yourself and looking for flaws! And then buyers will definitely notice you, curators will come running. To paint a fence and quietly haul away the paintings. In general, no matter what you do, the result is the same. So it's time to prepare for a sad outcome in obscurity and poverty.
But what if you look at it from a different angle? Maybe while you're still alive and have a collection of paintings, everything is just beginning? Maybe it's time to move forward and finally break free from whining? Start enjoying life, relaxing, having fun, eating delicious food, sleeping sweetly, creating a new series of works? Well, of course, you won't enjoy it for long. Because buyers will quickly come rushing in, start making noise, giving gifts, being happy, buying, bringing friends, and distracting you from the creative process.
