Robin, thanks for the comment on my blog. :)  I was feeling pretty crummy when you peeked in - it was very sweet of you to encourage me!  Thanks for being a ray of sunshine with a good dose of reality!

Hey Robin, I am sending you good energy so that your solo show generates LOTS of sales and reinforces you...don't get that parttime job yet.  I know you can make this work. /// I waited till I early-retired to make art fulltime, and wish I had started sooner but i needed the money that I'm living on right now. BUt I have friends who do make a living as artists...keep at it! YOur work will sell.  Jane

HI Robin, I just wrote a blog about being extremely discouraged (called "the Black hole") and I went to Greg's site to cheer me up, and there you were, questioning your art and being disgusted with the poor sales, making a living, all of that. I feel for all of us who have to go through this, and some of us ALMOST give up,,,but wejust can't. We have to keep each other going.  Take care. Jane

Do I know about funks?! I am the Funkmaster. I was in one for nearly a year last year! I couldn't bring myself to focus on anything at all because I was busy trying to figure out what my title was supposed to be. Finally I said "screw that" and now I just do whatever feels good at the moment. 

I'm heading out for a guys golf getaway on Friday and when I get back next week I need to finish getting my yard cleaned up. Spring clean up is brutal when you're property is canopied by three giant oak trees so I won't be painting for a week or so as well.

Happy travels!

YW.  And thanks for joining the group.  It really helps to have a fresh eye from someone else about things we may not have thought of,  or just need to be reminded of.   What I do to post a pic is copy and paste.  I left click and drag my cursor across the pic till it turns that funky color.  Then right click and click copy and go into the group and do Ctrl and V to release it into the thread,  making sure the cursor is in the box first.   I know you prolly know all this already but I figured I'd mention it just in case.

Seeing how you've cleared your comments,  made me realize that you can certainly tell the pack rats from the well organized :)   I think I need to do some comment cleaning. lol

I have been looking at another book in that "101" series.  Your link showed tons of used copies.  I wonder if they are any good?  I was thinking about the Marketing one, but now I suspect its retreaded info.  Have you any of these books?
