The art of being an artist advice on rejection

Understanding rejection, here are some reasons why artists can get rejected and what they can do to make the gallery they want to be represented in feel like they are a good investment. I feel that I would get rejected every time, right now. I do not put out enough work to look like a “serious” artist. Even if I have talent. I need to focus on that image. I haven’t been able to devote myself full time to my art as I have a full time job and family obligations.
I follow and I am friends with artists on Facebook, its a community. I have seen in FB artists grow, grow in style, confidence, and getting recognized. They all put in a full time schedule of developing their art, their presence. They are committed, hard working, professional and yet fun and keep themselves in the talk if you will.
Today we have so much technology to advertise ourselves. Still as artists we have to continually work at our art to build our unique brand our style while simultaneously working at the business side to promote ourselves, its a double occupation and its not an easy task.
Read the article. Keep moving, drawing, painting, be the best you can be at it. Learn everyday. In this case even if you keep getting rejected the investment is in yourself as an artist. The recognition hopefully will come.
