Hooray I got paid for art!
12 years ago
General
I have always been an artist and all my friends have told me I'm really pretty good, but I never dared to hope I would get paid for art - and now in the last few days I've gotten several commissions and although making a living with art (my eventual goal) is still a long way off, I'm daring to hope now that it is possible.
I've been in some dark emotional and mental places in the past couple years - the woman I was with for over a decade went through a mid-life crisis and insisted on a divorce, for example. I'd had a home on 10 acres and some quarter horses and had to give that up and live in an apartment in the city, which I hate.
But through it all, my art has kept me semi-sane and the people who take the time to comment or like or watch it have been more emotionally supportive and important to me than my blood family. Even if most of you probably never knew it.
So thank you so much for taking a minute to enjoy the art, and to those who have decided to support indie artists, THANK YOU more than I know how to express.
