Spend some time looking back at decisions that cost you your success.

I took a class this last week that reminded me of several fundamentals that I had forgotten to use. Brushing off old information to use in your current works can add to what you have been doing and make it seem new.

Seeking out friends to share your passions can recharge your drive and help you move forward. Taking classes is a good way to make new friends and create momentum that will carry you through the coming winter months.

What I learn when others look at my art, and revisiting my goals.

The key to being a professional is about being where you said you would. Big show, dog and pony, county fair..... if you committed; you need to keep your word and be there.

You buy the best, get into the best show and do the best you can; only to have it all go wrong. This isn't for the weak of heart.
