At some point in any of my chats with fellow artists and followers, I get asked whether I prefer to do plein air painting or inside the studio. A silent argument between the two has been lingering on some people’s minds. So let me address that continuing concern here in my blog to give you access about which of the two should be weighed better or does one really matter over the other?

Having an online presence in social media is absolutely one of the most important marketing strategies to promote a brand nowadays. There is no need denying the fact that social media (coupled with online options) is the best place to market your products because it is where the most influential and exciting interactions happen. Every year, technology offers something that modifies social media and makes people even more connected to one another and to the things they love and are passionate about.

Art has become part of our civilisation since I don’t know when. Well actually, probably since caveman days. It is unarguably present in all aspects of our culture and activities. All of the significant historical events are brought to commemoration through the arts. Perhaps that is where (or why) we have the phrase “a picture says a thousand words”. It is the most important record in every society there is. It is through these that people are brought together as great accomplishments are being remembered and particular values are reinforced.

A series of painting might seem strange to some. It brings varied thoughts to both artists and spectators. The negative (or positive), if your focus is to sell pieces, is that if a large group does not like the subject, all may be dismissed.

As both an artist and business coach, time mastery is close to my heart. Time mastery for the artist is very important. As a multiple business owner, I grew businesses, wrote books (number six has just been published), raised a family and painted. Anyone who knows me is constantly saying “how the heck do you do it all?”. So I thought for you, if you need to get art production on task, then here are my tips:

Many hotels recognise that their visitors are not just looking for a comfy bed, good service and correctly priced room – their stay involves the whole experience. For this reason, the ambience of the hotel, and the décor and artwork on the walls (or displayed in other ways) is also relevant. Some hotels boast artwork that most galleries would be proud to host. They want the experience of their clientele and visitors to be one which is exceptional – meeting the need of all our senses. I’ve had the pleasure of staying in hotels where the towels were wonderfully soft, the hallways smelt lovely (not dank, musty or disgusting) and have seen the most wonderful décor and art pieces both in the rooms but also in the foyer and hallways.

It is not a secret how art can pull a space together. Even though there is complexity in its manner of display, having even a single form of art in any space can completely transform a room into a liberty of expression and style. Paintings, sculptures, wall art and any other form of art do not simply stand as a piece of ornament. It is a thing that portrays an element of the owner or an idea to promote a sense of taste and profundity.
