The Fortunate Artist

So, I was feeling a bit sentimental at the studio today. I was reflecting on my journey that past couple of years and just how fortunate I have been. People seem to like my work, which is always step one. Beyond that, I have met so many wonderful people - clients, customers, new friends. I have also had a lot of people step up to help me - family and friends. I think there is something intuitive when people hear you are leaving your past behind to take up a new beginning. Especially if you plan to join the ranks of Artists.

For the few days that I doubt myself, goals, intentions, abilities - there are so many signs that come my way - that I should step back, enjoy some roses (or a good coffee), and just pinch myself.

I am never going to get rich in the monetary sense off this career path but I am finding that riches do come in so many packages. I am now rich in friends, spirit, and love of art!

Thanks to everyone for all of your support.
