To what extent for your art




To what extent have you gone for your pursuit of portrait painting?

I am inches, milliseconds away from my decision to move to Atlanta, and into a better artist's environment. Everything is pointing in this direction, my job is ending and no potential jobs have materialized in Cleve in spite of my search. The relationship is over , yet I know it is for the best. My kids are well on their way, though I will miss my new granddaughter pic attached.
And my lease is up end of April where I have been paying exorbitant rent and utilities.

So my question to you is this, tell me an encouraging story of how you "left your security" to pursue your dream. I have always dreamed of living simply, in a beautiful countryside, and painting. I even have a small studio apt lined up, thanks to a wonderful friend here at SOG (you know who you are, and how appreciative I am!!!)

the only thing holding me back is fear -
of loneliness
of failure
of losing financial stability (though it is woeful even now)

I am sure your story would inspire fellow students here!

Thanks
Patty
