I agree! It’s like a switch went on in my head. There is light in art! I always thought I was seeking communion with fellow humans, and felt awkward taking money for paintings. If I was hungry there wouldn’t be that dissonance. But I’m not. I eat well, have rook over my head, walk when I want to walk... Very fortunate. Now turning my old art pattern around. It feels right.
Thank you, and a happy new year to you too!
