Art at the Next Level

In the world of fine art, I personally feel that for every ten people who claim to be an artist, there's normally three or four that have the potential to be a superb artist if they would only work at it harder, but there might only be one or two who have taken the time to actually reach a level of expertise where they have nothing to be ashamed of. And no, selling artwork at high prices is really no genuine indication that the artist has reached a level of professionalism and competence in their chosen field of expressionism, they simply know how to market their work effectively.
