Begin with your existing fans and make them feel included in an exclusive group. Build a community, a tribe, a clan of people around you who participate in the conversation. Become the leader of your conversation, he advises. He advises starting and feeding conversations about art, and using your art to illustrate the conversation. And you know what? Both views-opposite though they are-kind of resonate with me.Ĭlint Watson, whose articles on selling art appear in his blog Art Marketing and Life, says the purpose of art is to amplify ideas. Two different masters at selling art, both passionate about helping artists to succeed, gave me two very different approaches to selling art, based on their different views about the purpose of art. It is so much easier to dig ditches, clean houses, or teach squirming young children, than to make a living selling my art! Still, the dream won't quite die. The dream of supporting myself through my art sales kind of went by the wayside. Why make art? Why do I make art? Why would anyoneīuy art? Why would anyone buy MY art? What do I want my art to accomplish? I write pages in my journal while sailing in the summer with my Love, and again around Christmas time when I review the year. Modeling studies predict that pCO 2 decreased during this time, suggesting that the effect of pCO 2 on Δ 13 C may have been overwhelmed by other controls, such as an in increase in pO 2 or a higher O 2 /CO 2 ratio during this biodiversification event.Twice a year, this question comes up for me. The overall Δ 13 C trend shows a ~ 3‰ increase throughout the Early–Middle Ordovician and coincides with a previously interpreted period of ocean cooling and some of the earliest pulses of global biodiversity of marine invertebrates and planktonic organisms. Δ 13 C values from well-preserved intervals generally vary between +26 to +28‰ throughout the Lower to Middle Ordovician (Tremadocian to early Darriwilian), but increase to +31‰ during the mid–late Darriwilian and mid Sandbian, similar to published data from younger Late Ordovi-cian positive δ 13 C excursions known as the Guttenberg (GICE) and Hirnantian (HICE) events. δ 13 C org values remain at their lowest throughout the Sandbian and are similar to other published Upper Ordovician (Sandbian– Katian) δ 13 C org data from North America. −26 to −28‰, decreasing throughout the Lower–Middle Ordovician (Floian–Dapingian Stages) to ca. New Lower Ordovician (Tremadocian Stage) δ 13 C org data range from ca. These new data complement previous studies that focused on Upper Ordovician δ 13 C carb excursions and now provide a composite Ordovician δ 13 C org record. Here we present new δ 13 C org data from Ordovician carbonate rocks from the Great Basin, Oklahoma, and Appalachian Basin and compare with published δ 13 C carb records from these sections and paired δ 13 C values from other carbonate successions around North America. However, because local scale processes can also affect Δ 13 C, it is essential to compare sections from widely separated water masses. Paired measurements of bulk carbonate (δ 13 C carb), organic matter (δ 13 C org), and their difference (Δ 13 C) can be used to estimate changes in isotopic fractionation through time as a function of O 2 /CO 2 in the atmosphere.
