Well its back to teaching art at my school and I'm working on some new things. I'm into painting right now. My goal for the rest of the year is to complete at least one picture a week. It will be challenging with all the stuff I have to do at work though. I NEED MONEY and I'm hoping that there is someone out there that likes my art for what it is. I've sold several pet portraits and people portraits per year for the last few but that little stuff that doesn't amount to much in the long run. I want to make art for the sake of making art. Not just because someone wants a pet portrait. I mean, I love doing that stuff too but I don't necessarily believe that makes me a successful artist. I've been told before that you can't be a professional artist unless you make your living off of your art. I don't know what to think about that.
