I have a hard time  selling my work. And not in the way most artists I know have, it is not  that I don\u2019t want to let go of the piece, I just never feel it is good  enough to sell.   <a style='text-decoration:none;color: inherit !important;' title='IP information' href='http:\/\/www.siteinz.info' >ip information<\/a> . I get really excited about the work while I am doing it,  but once it is done I often get bored with it. When people ask me what  my favorite piece is, I always say my next one. And this is because I  see the issues with the last piece and know how I am going to tackle  those problems on the next painting.<\/p>\n<p>It is also not that I feel that I have not put in the effort on a  piece; I just see all my mistakes and often feel like under selling  myself. Put this in with my inability to be a salesman and close a sale,  and my art sales have never been strong.<\/p>\n<p>For example my friend Daniel bought one of my originals this month. I  was honored that he wanted it and gave him a good price on it, but  still when it came down to receiving the money, I started to feel like I  needed to knock some more off the price. I realize this is a silly  thing to feel, but I still feel this way.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I am wondering if other artists have or have had this same feeling??<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I have a strange problem being an artist.
