Visibility, or trying to transform from Painter to NAME.

Debra, congratulations on your first prize win! That's a lovely and strong painting . It's great to see so much of your work on this thread.

My own Spidermen are either doing yoga or trying to strangle each other, depending upon my mood. (You know you're spending too much time in the studio when you actually start playing with them.)

Debra,

Congratulations on your prizewinning painting!

As for your marketing efforts, I think they are well thought out and executed. The key ingredient might just be patience. I would assume from the start that you will probably not see immediate results. In fact it might take a couple of years to see any result from what you do today. Just keep on consistently following your long-term marketing plan. Don't think of each effort as a separate thing that has failed because it didn't "work" right away. (Of course you might already be doing this.) It's a state of mind with a long-term goal.

Dear Debra.

Many congratulations!

By the way, you're getting better and better.
