Thank you for this post, I have been trying different methods of change lately in all areas of my life. I have even ordered some new biz cards and I changed my website and my Facebook fan page ( http://www.facebook.com/CindyWilliamsArt ) to reflect the changes. Change can sometimes give you a breath of fresh air. It may not always work like you want, but you can always change 🙂

I just started trying to sell my art last year…just part time. I started out doing pencil portraits from people’s photos. I only sold three portraits…one taking quite a bit of juggling and reworking for the client, which cost me a lot of time, effort, and frustration that I was unprepared for in the art “business.” ^_^ This really deflated me and discouraged me. I tried to do more work, but my heart wasn’t in it anymore. Then I discovered something that sent me in a new direction. I played around with a digital sculpting program and absolutely loved what little I could do with it! ^_^ I thought, “If I can make these cool sculptures with a digital program, could I do just as well using actual clay?” (I had never considered creating sculptures before…all my mind had ever been focused on was pencil drawings.) So, I switched totally from pencils to clay, and I realized I get A LOT more enjoyment from sculpting than I ever did from drawing! It’s one of those, “What do you love to do and would do even if you didn’t get paid for it?” things. I love to draw, but it was more like work to me. Sculpting is more like fun…something I look forward to doing…something I love to talk about. So, I guess, my change was redirecting my art genre…and I’m enjoying it immensely! ^_^

Thanks for the post Alyson. Always grow! Never become too comfortable where you are. Keep learning.
I love the saying “When you’re green, you’re growing – when you’re ripe, you rot.” I don’t want to become “ripe”.

Change is what makes the world go round! I bought your book this summer and struggled through taking steps to expand my world through your suggestions. I am not a “social” animal but I completed several steps you suggested. What a fantastic difference it has made in my art life and personal life! I am ready to move on to implement the “harder” steps and see what happens. So glad my sister and Maria Brophy recommended you to me and thank you for sharing and motivating us all through your blogs!

Yes! Time for a change! I just sent out a first ever email blast to collectors, friends and family inviting them to a private preview and have better stats than ever on that blast. Suzie’s interpretation: the people I stay connected to return the favor!
