The End
I'm a lurker, not a poster, but I have a burning question and value the opinion of SOG Forum members more than any other artist forum I've seen.
I've just finished a piece that I've worked on the the past month. I love it. It's my best so far. But I love 'em all. That's the problem. I actually feel quite SAD, that it's done. Am I nuts?
My long range plan, (I'm now 47) is to develop my skills and style privately for the next several years, let's say five more, and then begin to market my work to enhance my retirement income. This is a sensible plan right? The thing is, I have such a feeling of loss when I give a piece away, now, like I did at Christmas, (I visit them at mother's, etc.). What will it be like to actually sell my babies to complete strangers?
Do you keep pieces for your private collection? Do any of you feel this sense of separation when you finish a piece? Do I need Prozac?
