Is self-sufficiency through art possible?




Hi, I am a 27 year old portrait artist working out of Jacksonville Florida I have been a 'voyeur' of the forum, and rather nervous about doing anything other than watching, but I am excited to have a chance to participate and communicate with others who are enthusiastic about art and about the human subject specifically.

So... I am attaching some examples of my recent work. The painting with the dogs is in progress and slightly distorted because of the angle I shot the pic. Two local galleries represent my work, however the commissions are sporadic and I cannot as yet survive without the support of my greatest patron (my boyfriend).

Do people actually make a living do this? It would be wonderful if it is possible! And to have success before death, faked or actual!


Thanks for the opportunity to post.
