My short term goal is to be producing sellable art by the end of this year. That's deliberately vague. I'm not deluded into thinking I'll hang in a gallery by the end of the year. If Ebay accepts it I'll be lucky.
My personal definition of sellable is a painting that I'm willing to put my signature and a price on, even if nobody buys it. I've never signed a painting. When I feel my work is worth putting my name on, I'll call it sellable. I'm a tough self-critic, so that's not as mushy a goal as it sounds.
I have someone bugging me for a portrait now. I keep putting her off, saying I'm not ready, because I know she'll want me to sign it. I don't want to lose sleep five years from now, knowing there's a really bad painting with my name on it.
