I love the Red Dot piece!!
Funny, I always say I don’t really like red unless it is next to one of my art pieces!

I hadn’t considered keeping a notebook of good things people say about my work at shows or about my teaching. What a great idea! We too often let the negatives & rejections stick. Why not continue to relish and enjoy the positives??!! I felt funny about keeping cards etc. with positive comments in them. Now I h
ave a special place for them!!

All over the inside of my studio door, I have taped a selection of my exhibition posters and photos of work that has been sold up through the years…with small red dots on all of them, to remind me that work was done, praised and sold, and that I most likely will repeat this cycle again and again. It gives me encouragement and hope, and it’s highly visible all the time….

Hi Alyson,

In the past few years I’ve had the great good fortune to meet wonderful
artists and show curators at home and internationally. I now have a
circle of people who are kind and appreciate my work. They do spread
the love, and I feel it’s part of my mission on the planet to do the same.
I also know the value of my work — the paintings I exhibit in larger
shows, because I like to travel and be there, and I can see what’s happening
in the wider world. People don’t usually say mean things at art shows,
and rarely on line. If I need to see a record of the love I receive from
fellow artists, I can scroll back through my blog and it is very heartening.
Thank you for your wonderful post, and Happy Valentine’s Day! <3 You
mean a great deal to me Alyson.
