One of the toughest things I have found as an artist is dealing with the "rejection" of not selling anything. Art is such a personal thing and when you don't get any sales it's hard not to take it personally and think you're not any good. Keeping going, whilst not letting it get you down can be tough. This is definitely how I am finding it this week at Cheltenham Art in the Park, especially with a man next to me selling 3 a day at £300 a piece...sob! I am trying to tell myself we're in difficult financial times and art is a luxury item, but it is hard especially after putting in so much preparation. I battle on and remain optimistic that this week will resort in a sale, without my back giving way from carting my huge box of paintings across the field! The good news is I managed to get my packing up time last night down to 4 minutes!!! Will it be 3 tonight?
