I appreciate your views and opinions. I will tell you that there is a part of me that says "do it".

I have done a lot of commercial work in the past, everything from cups to greeting cards to a bill board of foam inserts in the side panels of autos. (That one really impressed my son for some reason) I am very lucky because my husband has a decent job and we are happy to live simply. I also teach art and seemed to have found a good niche there.

My concern with this is that I would be in direct competition with myself. There is not a big demand for portrait artists in this area and as it was stated the auto based economy is as bad as I have ever seen it. The clientele are becoming few and frugal.

A friend suggested we rent a back alley studio, wear a wig, big rubber nose, dark glasses, and start painting.

I know we all have to do what we can to create the art we want and I appreciate your input.

Vianna
