I love art too and recently started to work with fibers (knitting, crocheting, weaving) as a way to express myself. I understand what you are going through, I feel the same way - it is hard to do a living from art or making handmade products. Don't give up! I personally love your paintings, especially the ones where you incorporate the Romanian style macrame - such an interesting and clever way to use it. All the best from Canada, Georgia Georgia Motochttp://www.pickandknit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777492778742070298.post-41325628089670151902016-03-22T12:16:37.532+00:002016-03-22T12:16:37.532+00:00Thank you for your input, very insightful, as alwa...Thank you for your input, very insightful, as always :). I am quite happy with all the jobs I do at the moment as variety suits me. I am happy that I have the time for my art as I find it very therapeutic and I hope I will never give it up, even though I don't make a living from it.

I sought his consultation and it was well worth it. I also believe that you need to first sort out what plans are with your art. If it is making a living as an artist or getting into museums and being taken seriously as an artist. Even though they both end up making money at some point the approach is very different. What has always helped me sell art is a compelling story behind each painting. Last year I refrained from selling any of my pieces so that I could have enough body of work to exhibit in a museum. Don't mean to ramble on. Your article resonates very well with me. I hope you continue doing what you are doing. It is a joy to look at your highly distinct artwork.Roopa Dudleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192810738155176524noreply@blogger.com
