Painters TIP
Don't Be Arrogant!
There seems to be a disease of arrogance when you get to be a certain level as an artist. I see it everywhere. Particularly in artists who feel the necessity of critiquing other's work without invitation. Some artists feel compelled to show their superior knowledge in painting by fixing everyone Else's work. I am not talking about the teacher student relationship here. I am talking about one painter to another. It is degrading embarrassing and causes bad blood. Just don't do it!!
Then there are the painters who demand special treatment in group exhibits, paint outs and other group activities. They are too busy to deliver their work, so others must fill in and do it for them. They want all of the attention from promoters and dealers. Their paintings cannot be hung next to someone Else's who they don't like or who might make their work look poor. They expect special privileges. They cannot be bothered with rules. Just don't do it!!!!
Lastly, the painters who feel so superior that they are unwilling to converse with the regular folk, or paint with anyone who is not a "signature" member of a group. They won't hang around after the daily grind to enjoy fellowship. They can't be bothered with the masses. Just don't do it!!!!!
We are born with nothing and we will die with nothing. Get a grip and start being a kinder, more thoughtful artist!!!
