Making the choice to become a proffesional artist is the easy part, actually becoming successful is the hard part. the one thing you hope for is people will like your art enough to purchase one and hang it on their wall.
Gaining peoples confidence and trust seems to be the hardest part of it all, nowadays you must have a trustpilot rating to gain confidence which I do have in small part but you sit uncontrolably checking your website every minute in the hope someone has you paid you the compliment of obtaining a piece of your art but to no avail.
this is not a rant or an attempt to gain some sort of pity but more a little excert of the emotions you go through on a daily basis in the hope of becoming a succesful artist.
Will this stop me .....Oh NO........... not at all. Best thing to to do is start another painting give a big smile and head forward into the future with a positive attitude and a healthy outlook on it all.
