Painters Tip

I've been advising artists to think about their goals for the last week or so. Now I have my list to share for 2007:

I want to focus my marketing effort on the internet and most specifically, my web site. I want to make my web site the online store for my work, where it will be easy to purchase my work online. I want art buyers to feel secure and comfortable with purchasing directly online from my studio. How will I make them understand this and feel secure? My goal is to figure that out with better communication skills.

My painting goal this year is to thoroughly explore trees as a major subject, and farms, ranches and rivers as a secondary theme. I believe that narrowing my subjects and themes will allow me to study in depth, while improving my work.

I have made the recent decision to give up my regular local painting classes and to focus instead on teaching one to seven day workshops and art camps,teaching online students, and writing more tutorials which will allow me more painting time,and more research and development time to teach about what students are interested in, thus making me a more effective teacher.

I also want to expand my mailing list this year and use it more effectively.

I want to have more visitors to my studio, which I thoroughly enjoy. I am planning two studio parties for 2007 and I will have special incentives once a month for visitors to the studio.

I want to continue to support and mentor emerging artists, because I feel it is so important to lend a hand to those who are coming along. I think if I were to discover that I had helped a budding super star to achieve a high level of recognition, I would be delighted to know I had been instrumental in their path to success. I will never be famous, but what if I mentored someone who will be? What a thrill!!!! I started a tradition of purchasing small paintings from artists a few years ago. I give the paintings to friends and to my daughters, so that they will have original art for their homes.

I have other goal too but these will be major goals in 2007

Have you started your list yet?
