Carefully manage expectations... and then beat them. My mantra in every business I have run. I know from my experience running galleries and shows, it is incredibly refreshing to artwork available in time for magazines, press releases, social media, newsletters, website promotions... And that often required having a painting ready to go 60 days in advance to take full advantage of all of that.
Thanks for reading and commenting Scott. I have had the pleasure of so much wisdom from you over the years, and you bring up another excellent point. Thank you again sir!
Great advice, I feel I am painting slower and slower but hopefully better quality too and it is a treadmill if we try to enter everything. I have been entering less overseas competitions because shipping is expensive and complex from Australia. This is a great reminder to prioritise
Exactly! Thanks for your perspective Vicki. I too have been entering locally. There are some great miniature shows overseas, and that is not as cost prohibitive.
Some great tips! Thanks for sharing! 👩🏼🎨

Great article. I've been feeling under pressure to produce lately so this helps. I'll focus my efforts only on certain opportunities going forward.
Thank you FASO for promoting my painting “Dubrovnik, Croatia” and some great advice as well!
