This week we're talking about the importance of sticking with something long enough to benefit from your own mistakes. But perhaps we can make things a bit easier by sharing some of the mistakes we've made including email marketing, talking about our art, and selling our work.

Also a listener asks: “When do you decide when a painting is finished? So often, I like what I see, but want to push forward for something even more dynamic. I am nervous that I will mess it up (and I have!). But...always afraid I am not reaching my full potential in a particular painting if I give up too early. Help!” We have some time based suggestions - and also the two types of fear you may be having around finishing a work.

Finally, we are inspired by different reactions to art in completely different contexts and scale. And Riley has a reaction to the postman ;-)
