		<description><![CDATA[An estimated 600 art lovers visited M Gallery of Fine Art, Sarasota, FL, for the opening of my and Sadie Valeri&#8216;s (pictured, left) still life painting shows. The culmination of months of painting and preparation, the event was fantastic. The food, wine and conversations &#8211; and sales &#8211; made it a joyful celebration of art. [...]

		<description><![CDATA[My art career starts in earnest TODAY. A friend recently congratulated me on my semi-retirement.

		<description><![CDATA[Being in business, by definition, means you want to profit financially from your work. Marketing is the context in which business happens. It is not sales alone. It involves all aspects of your art business, promotion, client relations, price, sales, etc. I believe that sales are an outgrowth of marketing efforts. Art sells when people [...]
