This is a question I feel sometimes burning my backside, other times I ask myself that question. In those moments of self doubt, I am wondering why I have a talent (my best talent) for something that is not a stable, viable source of income. In the world of fine visual art some artists do make it, but the slice of pie is skinny... and if you broke that down to the ratio of women that do well enough to make a living.... even skinnier! So some doubt is perfectly reasonable...... then I saw this video... I know this is 20 years old, but not a whole lot has changed and that, I feel is very sad.
Who does she think she is?
I love what I do and I love my family. I would not want to trade that, just make it better. More on that later.....
This is my latest canvas... just finished. she is called 'The conundrum of Wrath
Excellent post! Love your new painting too - she's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI wrote a post with the same title you might like to read. I got the idea from a blog post by Christine Kane. You can check it out here: http://voicesinmybighead.blogspot.com/2009/12/who-do-you-think-you-are.html
