I know what you mean: I've been oil painting for almost two years, but my studies are in art and I've geen creating art of all kinds all my life, if experience is what counts. My parents and friends complain because I sell my paintings for so little money, but then none of them offered to give me more for them. My enameled jewelry also sells so cheap for the amount of work and materials that I spend on it that it is hardly worth selling it. I just want to get that little break that some artists just happen to find. Meanwhile, I am working on honing my craft and selling it for enough to cover my costs. I hope you'll come by and visit my site... www.carolinaelizabeth-art.blogspot.comCarolina Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597957110602076465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428535217409724830.post-26332515223118302612010-09-12T20:29:51.157-07:002010-09-12T20:29:51.157-07:00Thanks Mary.

I must just remember, times 3 is about right.

And keeping LOVE of craft alive. Balancing all that is working. By now, though, you as an artist shouldn't be paid only for "the" pot in front of you but the expertise you've developed across time. That energy deserves reimbursement and acknowledgement. Mary WhitneyChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251427757113713268noreply@blogger.com
