Thank you, Crystal for bringing this up about selling our art.
I used to have difficulty years ago doing so, and now the older I get,
I can throw away those worries of feeling awkward about letting people know that rent,
food, medical bills need to be paid. We all need to be proud of what we do and
deserve to be paid fairly. I think many of us were never taught that it's ok to speak
up and sell our art. I have begun to despise the phrase "starving artist" which is unacceptable.
Our culture doesn't help, either. In the Netherlands, those who purchase artwork get
a tax deduction. That would be laughed at in the U.S. Time to change that.
It was exactly what I needed when I woke this morning. And sparked an idea for a new work that I happily started almost immediately.
I noticed the synchronous timing of Robyn’s post too. The spiral of time.
