Mari,
Congratulations! It looks like you're finally on the right path. Too many people don't realize that the study of painting needs to be taken very seriously and one needs to be very committed if one's potential is to be realized.
I understand that everyone has challenging circumstances that are seemingly preventing them from taking a leap of faith like you have.
We all would like to think that there is a magic pill (or painting medium) but by believing so, we are merely avoiding the truth of the matter. Those who believe they can be a slave to two masters are kidding only themselves. As they say, hope springs eternal.
Personally I don't think there is one set way or teacher to achieve nirvana. We must all follow the appropriate path. The common denominator is surrender. I applaud your bravery and your success to date.
