She shared that "preparation is an extremely important factor in luck. You can get lucky, but if you aren't prepared for the opportunities that you get, you can fall to the wayside." I couldn't agree more with Ms. Keaton's advice. I might get lucky to be noticed by a gallery owner or a potential art buyer, but unless I have studied and painted to learn my craft, then I won't be prepared for the future.
