Patt,

Oops! I did not mean to direct my comments towards you personally, and your remarks did make me chuckle. But don't dump your day job in art for a career in stand-up comedy!

Something else, however, was on my mind. I spoke to a fellow two weeks ago who complained bitterly that he hadn't made it in portraiture. And after all his "hard" work, he deserved to be "on top" and was surprisingly angry about not being there. I have a good idea of the time he puts in, and we obviously define "hard work" very differently. I also remember what it was like after art school graduation. Too many of my classmates seemed to spend more time complaining about the "lack of jobs" when they had hardly even looked. BTW, those people generally did not stay in the "art" business.

Persistence always pays off.
