I started my blog in Feb 09 but was unable to keep it up as my day job took over my life and left me no time or energy to blog or paint. For the past week or so I have been posting a few comments daily. I had to cut my day job hours drastically as my heart is no longer in it and it's too painful for me to continue doing it. I'm ready to sell everything I own and go live on the street if that's what it takes to support myself.
I don't post paintings to the blog anymore because it is not copyright protected. I've had several emails over the years from people letting me know they are copying my art and even making it the focal point of their living room. Other emails have asked me to donate my art for worthy causes. As flattering as all that is no one is paying for my art from online sources.
My day job has had me so busy I haven't had time/energy to meet potential collectors.
