Yes, art is a gift that we have to work with and even learn how to nurture it in the best way as possible. I think this is the same for any profession. Just it is that I have been observing a lot the common person – what one likes, what one buys, how one understands, feels, perceives a work of art. Many people almost don’t see the artwork they are looking at – I mean they look at something and right away they start to compare, to think, to like, dislike etc… so there is nothing I can do about that 🙂 So my job as a working artist is to learn how, where and when I can best show and sell my works. So what I am facing is the reality of the working artists – be creative to make new artworks and be creative to share, show and sell your works! So as you are pointing out in the intro chapter “No one ever said it will be easy”. I did one similar painting 4 times for one customer. Did I enjoy it – NO! But I needed the money. So if I don’t want it to happen again I have to make it not happen again… work, work, work.
