Karin, I agree completely about the hours necessary in order to be a serious artist. I am flabbergasted at the number of people I talk to every day who think artists are born being able to paint! Even talented intelligent people like my husband are suprised when they take 1 course in painting, and wonder why they arn't good yet. I like to think I have a little talent, and I am amazed at the struggles I've had over the last 25 years. I'm also a successful hairdresser, and I can tell you from personal experience, it doesn't even come close to being as hard. Getting my B.F.A only helped me to put in those hours you were talking about. Being a good artist is a continuous education!
