Jumping at every opportunity

We have been down at Raumati Beach for a couple of nights. It was so good to get away and unwind. Poor little Maddy got really sick, so we didn't get to do all the things planned, all I can say is thank God I packed the Pamol! Mum and Vic took us to an amazing spot right in the beach here are some photos.

Raumati Beach







I am organising a picnic in the park for Wanganui artist to trade their Artist Trading Cards Friday 10th Dec at 12:30pm click here for more details. 

I am also hosting an online Art Marketing Salon for all artists in Jan 2011 click here for more details.

My tip for the day is about jumping at every opportunity.  You don't have to say yes to everything. In fact, sometimes, saying no to something can be more beneficial to your career than saying yes. 
Take a look at your standards and make sure they’re high enough. There are some exhibitions that just aren't worth joining. There are some connections that just aren't worth developing. 
When you say yes to something, especially something that takes your time, you're likely saying no to a host of other things by default. Leave yourself open to saying yes to the opportunities that really matter. 
Trust your own judgment. If something doesn't feel right and you want to say no, it's okay. At that moment, you may worry you're passing up a great opportunity and will be missing out. The reality is better opportunities (that are a better fit for you) will come if you are open and ready for them.

The Youtube clip for the day is Screentalk interview with Antony Starr

He told me in 2001 that he was a skateboarder that likes to act.

My card for the day is ROMANCE
it said...the angels have heard your appeals for romance they acknowledge your hearts yearnings for love. They have received and answered your requests. Now you will work in concert with the angels to manifest the romance you are seeking. The angels guide you in specific ways to ensure that they grant you your wish. The angels guidance may ask you to engage in self improvement activities such as exercise classes or self help seminars. Follow this guidance and you will discover the romance you are seeking. 
I love ROMANCE...bring it on!!!

Art Every Day Month Day 13 - Basic Colour Theory

An understanding of the basics of colour theory is essential for every artist and increases the possibilities for your work. Colours are, after all, one of the basic tools of painting. Here are some of the things I have learnt. The Colour Wheel Most color wheels are based on three primary colours, three secondary colours, and the six intermediates formed by mixing a primary with a secondary, known as tertiary colours, for a total of 12 main divisions; some add more intermediates, for 24 named colors like this one.  Primary colours:  Are the three colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours together  - red, yellow, and blue. Secondary colours:  A secondary colour is made by mixing two primary colours together: red and yellow to get orange, yellow and blue to get green, or red and blue to get purple. The secondary colour depends on the proportion in which you mix the two primaries. For example, if you add more red than yellow, you get a reddish orange,...
