Hello again everyone..

Patt,

I understand the feeling of being overwhelmed.

An odd thing happened to me AFTER I was married and started raising 2 boys (really 3 counting my husband). I wanted to be in the studio as much as possible!! (maybe its not so odd) However, like you, I couldn't always go. I work around my 6 yr. old's school schedule and in between managing the household. My big fantasy is to have a spa vacation, get massages, etc. then go paint. AHHH...

Now that my time at the studio is at a premium, I am much more motivated than when I HAD the time.

Chris, Peggy and all,

I do understand the motivation behind acquiring representation. Its a big thing to market. My beef is WHY the HUGE commission? Who decided that, and why do we artists accept that? Does anyone know what actors pay their agents?? I would be more than happy to give them 25%. Unless they are standing at the easel with me, paintbrush in hand, 40% and up is NOT RIGHT!
