There is work to art. First there is all the learning part, with its frustrations when thing don't go right the first time. Then comes practise, practise, practise.
Finally you become satisfied and enjoy the process more. And one day you think you might show what you have accomplished.
Time to enter a show or gallery. "send us a CD of your paintings" they ask, " and fill out a bio about your work."
Reject, reject, reject.
Perseverance pays off and finally you show a piece in an art show, and guess what, someone buys it. You are overwhelmed, someone liked what you did, they paid money for it, they now own what you worked so hard on. It isn't yours anymore. Cash the cheque and buy more paint.
Repeat. repeat. repeat.
Here is my suggestion. Go to a neighbourhood art show, poetry slam, music event and make an artist happy. Buy, buy, buy.
Now you know how hard they work, work work.
