Hey Joy, I was just this month thinking that i need to do paintings that are worth a $1000 and then Ineed to sell ten of them. I didn't set a deadline or anything. I too get a funny tummy about selling things like art when somepeople can't afford food not just because of the economic crisis now but anytime. nurses, teachers, people who grow food they should get money not painters. but remember that there are so many people in his capitalist system who are able to cruise by making a living doing menial crap that they hate, that isn't even very hard, that contributes tonothing but their corporations financial wellbeing. Painting and photography are artisan skills that need to be cherished and passed on. Find the value in what you are good at and alleviate yourself of the guilt of taking money people are willing to give to you for what you can do. when they can't afford it they wont give it to you. I promise. I have trouble painting for paintings sake knowing i will sell it. I only seem to paint well when i paint for a specific person in which case the art is usually gifted. if you have any tips for breaking out of that let me know! happy birthday to Miss Esme all the best for her guitar playing.
