I'm actually a private person. I like to hide in my studio and fuss over a detail here and there. Painting in public hasn't worked for me so far. For one thing, from what I understand, I don't "look" like an artist.
One person told me the story (while here in Bellingham, Washington) of his brother who went to New York to be an artist and ended up starving and getting really sick. It was hard to get this man to stop going over the details. Uggh!
Another man came up and looked at a book with photos of my portraits, found a picture of an older woman and very thoughtfully pointed out that she was the ugliest woman he had ever seen. It was quite funny. I also had a marriage proposal.
I think I get better concentration in my studio with the door closed.
