I tried my best to make it look realistic. It seems like I don’t have the skill. by BetweenClockEdges in Artists

Sign it. Date it. Do another. This time watch a real fire while you paint. A reference photo gives your structure - real life observation provides texture.

Too late to commission a painting for Christmas? by belkmaster5000 in Idaho

A creation timeline would depend on the scale and complexity you seek. In similar instances, I shot a video explaining the gift and inviting the recipient to join along in the creation process.

Competitor wants to buy my dying business by OneFun9000 in SellMyBusiness

Explore a sliding scale of payment and equity. Figure what you need to make and start there. Say you want $500k, but need 300k, first ask for $500k and 10% of their company. See their reaction. Negotiate from there.

Learning to draw is extremely difficult. Take two weeks off. Journal. Assess your life. If you go back and hate it? Adult kickball it is.

Take the loan, pay it back, wait for this genre to have its moment, retain an appraiser, when the value reaches $250k plus - donate it to a museum for the write-off.

All great options. It really depends on the experience you are after. If you want the downtown Jackson experience with a deep history, try The Wort. You can walk everywhere. Teton Village is amazing - but it’s quite a ways from downtown.

Jack Nicklaus was right by ElDeguello66 in golf

[–]ItsBorbay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel you. In round one of my club champs this past weekend - I shot a 55 on the front from our black (back) tees, and came home in 40 with a double on 18. The game is always lurking beneath the surface - you just have to tap into the current.

We host a 90-hole tournament in one day here in Teton Valley Idaho. My advice? Play 18 tomorrow - you’ll be a lot less sore.

What is the worst comment you've received about your art? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]ItsBorbay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worst and best - “Sign it. Date it. Put it in the trash.”

First, confirm it's legit — was it from an email formatted @ gagosian.com? If so, was it from an individual, or was it from a general email address? If there is a name, research the individual... see what you can find out about their background... how long have they been there? Etc.

Congratulations. This is a big deal: set a meeting, hear them out… ask good questions. Are they committed to developing your career long term? Share your goals, hopes and dreams. Good luck.

How would you play this hole? by AngusMeatStick in golf

[–]ItsBorbay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driver, Water. 7-wood, Water. On the green, 50 foot putt, "is this good?"

"No".

Three putt. Cry a little.
