They say that if you "stick with what makes you happy, the money will follow". I don't know about that, but if you have a talent at something, and love doing it, go for it! You never know.
Through many many moves, four children, and often little space or money, I have always tried to find a corner to do art. I've always tried to incorporate it into my children's lives. It's just something that's always been a part of me. Now that my kids are older, I look back and see that, I'm a lot better than I was when they were little. All those years of doing what I love have paid off. I now know a lot more, (although typically, I also know that I could always, and will, hopefully always improve.)
Never give up, and always make room for that little corner to do what you love. I don't know if the "money will follow", but the joy of doing it has been priceless!

Painting is somethng I just started and I love it. I've surprised everyone, including me and I'm 70.
You are definately good.
If the picture is a sample of your work 'the money will follow' It is very good. Thank you for sharing with us!
To paint that well you have to have a lot of natural talent and I would say you have. Don't ever stop!
What an inspiration! This is excellent advice for anyone who has a dream to follow.
Very,very good! I'm sure the money WILL follow. Like the others said, "if that is a sample of your work"-- I would love to buy it.
Hi! I have only now had a chance to view my responses.
Thank you all so much!!! It's always wonderful to get good feedback on my art.
Yes it is for sale, Mona, it's 11 "x 14" ( one of my smaller ones) I love painting. I have painted portraits for people of their kids and pets, and I can always see where it's getting better, like something through me, it's not just myself.
