In today's world it sometimes seems that becoming a fine artist is as simple as giving yourself the title of "artist" and getting started - just like you can start a corporation and call yourself a CEO. But we all know that the "true" artist title is something that has to be earned through hard work, talent, and inspiration over many years. You can see it almost immediately in the quality, consistency, and style of the work. It's great that you are pursuing the artist's journey in the way that you are. We wish you the best and look forward to hearing your comments again soon! Great comment Anne – it’s hard to understand I agree.

I've been drawing since I was a child, but I got away from it for quite a while. I got back into it about a year ago and started working with a very gifted artist. I like what I'm doing, but I'm not interested in selling my work; I just want to learn and improve. So, I have been absolutely amazed at the local artists who are showing and "selling" work that is very inconsistent in quality. They don't seem to realize that while some of their work is good, some of it is not good at all. Yet, they throw it all together and display it in galleries. Amazing. Some of them are beginners, but some of them have actually been painting for years. I just don't understand how they can look at their work and think it is all equally worthwhile.
