Good topic. I think the more extroverted you are, the more difficult it is. Since I fit somewhere in the middle on the Introvert versus Extrovert spectrum, I do find it hard to focus sometimes and often end up on the phone (headsets are a marvelous invention!). I wonder if that is why some painters enjoy teaching – in addition to making a living, of course? Open studio sessions can be fun and alleviate the isolation for those of us that need more association.
Once I get absorbed in painting, in the “flow” so to speak, I have no trouble spending hours, even days alone. In fact, I truly resent interruptions once I am on a roll.
Michele, I was wondering if you would be willing to expand more on how you came to have an assistant, what you have the assistant do for you and compensation arrangements?
