And my avatar doesn't represent my personality well so I'll change into a silly version of Keanu Reeves again!

Hello sweet, that sounds like a decent way to start the morning, hope you had a good day. :)
I just been worrying about my future a little, and feeling isolated at times. I feel more positive today though :compress:

Hello Katie!

What's your avatar please: it looks so "busy" and I can't make out the details!

I hope you're having a stunning day and am glad you're feeling better.

I feel good as it's cooler here today and my sister took me to the beach earlier to celebrate her birthday: we had a short swim and took their dog Charlie for a walk while she left young Kate (my niece) at our mom.

Drizzling outside now: I love this weather!

Hi thanks, glad you have been having a good day, beach sounds like a distant memory but great place to be right now. I live miles away and its pretty cold here! The avatar is a collaboration between artists Emma Biggs, and Mathew Collings :)

You have talents I saw that, do you enjoy drawing, painting or designing? I know from experience that having talent at something doesn't necessary mean enjoying that thing. I wish you choose something makes you happy, makes you immerse into without too much effort. And also don't follow money but follow your passion then money will follow you in the end. :D

I'm an artist. Do you suppose I could sell some of the paintings I don't want to keep for myself?

Of course you can if you like!

Do you have some samples of your art to see here or on deviant art maybe?

(forgive me if I missed any as I don't manage to see all the threads...)

I want to start my art again soon.

Thanks, i appreciate your thoughts and insight, i genuinely do. :)
I was given a lot of compliments and got quite involved with making art, and i guess part of what makes me feel good about myself is tied to making art for those two reasons.
Lately i have been wondering whether i really do enjoy it though. This may be because of late i have not managed to get involved in a project and feel immersed.
Art, especially fine art is weird because there is a lot of talk about its death, a bit like a dead god. Uni kinda reflects that, with a lot of older teachers seeming confused as to why they are bothering, apart from to pick up their pay checks. Its quite a cynical sterile teaching environment. I don't think that's the real reason, but like you said i do need to get connected to something that i am passionate about. I feel like i have been at sea for a while.

^Hi, :) the links fail to work, Kura. But I saw some of your paintings somewhere and I thought the combination of colors were especially impressive.

You're welcome Katie. :)

Pursuing career in fine art can be successful in some sense, means, it depends on how an individual defines the true meaning of success. Although fine art is alleged to be dying, unpredictable and insecure, as you know, many artists are still earning a quite comfortable living through their art sails. Don't be scared by what others have to say I used to be as well. But I realized that there are always survivors in any dying careers, and the survivors do survive because they function at tasks that require superior talents and commitment.

^Darn it. My pictures are on Google Pictures, so I guess it doesn't work all the time. Oh well.
