When all is said and done, success as an artist has its foundation in authenticity. All the fanciest marketing efforts are on shaky ground unless the artist understands his or her voice. I thought the following quote from Paul Gauguin captured the deep resonance of his true being:
“The flat sound of my wooden clogs on the cobblestones, deep, hollow and powerful, is the note I seek in my paintingâ€
Paul Gauguin
Look at his picture – you can feel the cobblestones, wooden clogs, and the deep and powerful sensations he refers to. An artist authentic and aligned with his Soul’s purpose.
So – Are you being authentic in your art??
