Background: Ken Done is one of Australia’s famous artist. He has painted every day since 1975. His enterprise last year employed over 100 employees, including his wife who helps with fashion design expertise. Ken Done really is passionate about his painting and works of art.

He talks about designing ideas for clothes like swimming trunks. This shows me that he is very driven to achieve his goal.

Commitment, Determination, Perseverance: Ken has been committed to his passion for a long time now. He paints every day and has painted every day for over 35 years. He is determined to satisfy his customers by providing them with works of art that captivate his buyers. He said that art showed him more failure then success. I think that him going through this failure gave him a lot of perseverance.
