"Professional Artist"
I would like to pose a question. How does one know when they have become a "professional" portrait artist? Is there a non-professional portrait artist? Is the criterion the amount of money one receives for a portrait, or the number of portraits completed? Would being a "professional" portrait artist denote that that is your sole occupation and source of income?
The local art guild states that if you have received a total sum of $1200.00 in your art career, you are now listed in their opinion, as a "professional".
Just curious what others may think about this.
