Survival
Hi John
After reading your history and seeing your wonderful work here, I know you obviously speak from the depth of experience when you say that success in portraiture requires very hard work and an uncompromising attitude. Is it possible to give some rough idea of the earnings potential of portraiture compared to other professions, for surviving, thriving, and achieving ultimate success. The reason I ask is because it is easier to dedicate oneself entirely to a profession when some idea of earnings possibilities for it are known.
For example, assuming one reaches a fair level of competence in producing and effectively marketting the kind of work that sells well, to the right clientele, how comparable is the earning potential of portraiture compared to say doctors, lawyers, accountants, or small businessman ?
I hope my question is not too naive.
