Thank you for answering my questions–you have given me insight!  

 

Not sure if this is OK to ask, but here goes: How did you make the move to full time painter? Was it a gradual process or was it a quick move? Was it a smooth transition or bumpy? Having an engineering background I imagine you carefully weighed all your options, i.e. how it would affect those around you, how you would continue to provide for your family, etc. I think I understand about learning things now you should have learned a long time ago. I think I'm doing the same. Nevertheless, from viewing your work, it appears you have learned them extremely well. Be encouraged! You do great work!
