- Welcome back to the Sunday Vlog. As artists, we are often not the best judge of our own work, and it turns out it doesn’t matter! A gallerist will have their own reasons for choosing one painting over another. I used to finish so many paintings (with a title, framing, photographing, etc.) before showing them to my gallerist, Julie Nester. After all that work, she’d end up choosing only a few. So now, I simply send her a video of options.
The point is to do the work you want to do. The selection process is so subjective. A gallerist, buyer, and even a viewer will have their reasons for liking one work over another.
I recently sent my gallerist a video showing eight paintings, and she chose four for her gallery. Can you guess which four? Make sure to watch the video above. The first person to write the correct four in our comments will be given one of our new Art2Life hats that are not available for purchase yet!
This week on the Art2Life Podcast my good friend and awesome story teller, Noah Woods, is back! We have a conversation about clarity - finding clarity in our art and life. You will love this episode! Be sure to listen wherever you stream podcasts or watch the episode on our TH-cam Channel this Wednesday.
I hope you make some art today!

A million years ago, my ex and I travelled the country making and selling elaborate, wire and wooden bead roachclips (it was the early 70’s after all). When we’d get down to the bottom of the barrel of beads, our color combinations would be atrocious. Over the years, we found that no matter how horrible any of them were, it would be someone MOST FAVORITE EVER.
“Just make it and let people figure out for themselves”. I love that. It takes the pressure off. Thank you. ❤
So GREAT!!! And what helpful tips for showing your art to galleries and saving time and effort.
I signed up for the Creative Visionary Program and I am so excited about it. And I'm just incredibly grateful that this program exists in the world. Thank you Nick, for all your work and for the light that you put into the world ❤☮️🙏
☘️ again, I thank you for allowing us to be part of this in a way to give us a chance to remember something you said in the free workshop this year and that was, be careful falling in love with your artwork too early (while you were creating it). Because when you’re trying to sell your art, that’s a complete exercise in letting go because the combinations of who sells it and who buys it, are endless, we wouldn’t be able to include what all of those people might want even if we tried, which we shouldn’t. They get to decide at that point they get to decide if they want it in their gallery for reasons that they know, theirs feelings and experiences that they’ve had (possibly over decades), who their buyers are, what the demographics of those buyers are, it’s endless. And I think, in the end, you will have proved that by allowing all of us to give us to give our input. Thanks again.
Good morning, my first day joining your Vlog, I was so inspired by your workshop, thank you again. I loved, 1,4,5 and 8.

All great. 1,5,7,8. ❤
Thank you for sharing your great work and wonderful inspiring words of wisdom. I would choose 2, 4, 6, and 7. If that is what the also gallery selected, you can give the groovy cap to another artist in the US because I live in the land down under. Haha.
I am late to the party but I think 2,4,6,8! So amazing!
1,5,7,8! This is fun!
This is so fun! I will guess 3, 4, 6, & 7
Hi Nick, I think it was 1,3,5,7. Like 6 also 🙂
So fun to guess. I've changed my selections a couple of times. But I've ended up with 2, 3, 6 and 7.
1,5,6,8. Just in case my comment didn’t come through at disqus. It’s hard to choose! Great video with excellent advice. ❤❤

Hi, thanks for this. I choose 1,2,4 & 8
1,2,5,7
Beauts!❤️🦋
1,5,7,8 ?? Love your practical tutorials as much as your more philosophical teaching reflections on creating art
The four I selected are 2, 3, 4 and 8. I would love to see how you framed the ones that were selected.
1,3,5,7, but actually, I love them all!
They are so individuals. I think that the numbers are 2, 4, 7, and 8. 👍🤗
2, 3, 5, 8 pop out to me. I hesitated between 1 and 3. Excited to know which ones were picked.
I would pick five of them: 2,4,5,7 & 8! 😊
Super 🎉 I choose 2, 5, 6, 7 ❤
I like 2, 3, 5, 8 Will be fun to see what they choose.
2,3,7&8. I love 3
I'm going 2,5,7,8 for gallery picks! (although I'm partial to 7 myself! 😊)
I think 1,5,7 and 8!
I like 3 4 7 and 8 🥳
I know it doesn't matter, because the point was that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. But I am sure curious which ones the gallery selected?
I would pick numbers 1,2,6 and 8. Interesting to hear which ones the gallery picked. Thank you
2, 4, 5 & 8 !!!! ❤
Nr2, 6 and 8 are my Favorites 🫶👌🏻🤍
All great, but I’d select 1, 2, 6, 8.
Of course it's 4, 5, 7 and 8 😊
1,4,7,8. what substrate are using? Are they wood panels.
Looks like a few have made the same suggestion but before knowing that, I picked 2, 4, 7 + 8, I think they would hang well together as a group.
They’re all cool. I saw this two days late but I think they chose 1, 2, 8, and 4 or 7. Looking forward to see your answer… :-)
I am guessing that the gallery chose 1,2,4 and 8. Looking forward to getting the result
My favs : 2,4,7,8
I would pick 1,2,5,8
Thank you for sharing these tips. Nicolas how can I get my art in a gallery.? I meant how? 😅
I like the ones that are the most like mine lol
2,5,7,8 ❤❤❤
1,2,6,8 is my tip. 💞
3,4,7,8 are my choices
Hi Nick, Oh what fun! I bet the gallery chose 2, 4, 5, & 8. Am I right? I love them all, by the way.
Tough to decide.. My guess is 2,4,6,8
1,5,7,8 . Thank you for these thoughts 😊🙏🏻 Have been wrestling all day what to send to a new gallery-exhibition. Impossible to know. 😊
2, 4, 5, 8. Are these on wood like we will use on cvp? Thanks, Marie-Claire
I think 1, 4, 7 and 8.
2,4,7,8!
Nic, if I were your gallerist these would be the four choices:
1;2;5 and 8
1,4,7,8 Like 6 too :)
1, 2, 4, 8 !!!
HI from New Zealand -- 1,4,7 & 8 my guess
2, 5, 7, 8 ❤
2, 4, 6, 8!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
2, 4, 7 and 8
I choose 2,4,7 and 8
This was hard 😂 1,2,4,8
1,2,7,8 !
2,3,4,5 ✨
2, 4, 7, 8 are the ones I would chose.
Hi Nick, this was interesting. I am wondering though: Do you find it unsettling not to know what people are going to like and buy? Does it feel unpredictable and therefore kinda risky?
1,2,3
5 and 7.
I'm going with 3,4,8 and 7
That's tough, 2,4,7,8 if they went with the easily recognizable Wiltons or 1,3,4,6 for some different pieces 😅
I'm going with 2,4,7,8.
