To make a living from selling paintings you have to work HARD and have that hunger and it has paid off.

Do you wait for the right person to find the piece for them, or do you use staging and other sales tactics?

JP It's as tricky as David Copperfield to make a living from art, I fear. I try though. Anyone here paint paintings all day and sell paintings all night?

I work 10-11 hours per day, then go home and pursue artistic stimulation (painting, sewing, drawing, web design, graphic design, many mediums.) I try to sell every other Saturday at an Art Market but the 6 day work week kills me.

My art time is very limited these days. I work and after work I could quite still be working or am too tired to do anything of any artistic value. Though I have now made a point to try and work on my paintings. Also, in the meantime, trying to get my comic samples done. So one day, hopefully, I will be able to do just that (paint all day and sell them at night) ;D

There’s a tiny bit of art in my career in marketing, but not the work that satisfies the soul or the muse. Not typical in corporate work. I do spend my weekends perusing artistic stimulation. Tomorrow I’ll interview a very talented mixed media artist with a quaint “folk art” style- I can’t wait to talk to her & pick up a piece.
