A lot of people are completely digital in their art and a whole lot more of us wouldn't be without our editing software! I have more of a problem these days with the fact that I work in my 70s, let alone spend most of my days on one computer or another. People of my age think I'm completely mad!<br />Judy Adamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986456665704994228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813512259260074342.post-79260216868825949052014-05-31T14:47:30.281-07:002014-05-31T14:47:30.281-07:00I suppose it's just as well I'm not expect...I suppose it's just as well I'm not expecting to make enough money to live on with my art, because I'm painfully reluctant to "come out" and admit to people I meet that I'm an artist. Perhaps it's because of the medium I use, digital art, as opposed to a paintbrush and oils. Even when I've participated in art shows I've been the quiet one in the corner and not the one in the middle, telling everyone about her art and inspiration.<br />Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993407315693699146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813512259260074342.post-3019762227391365132011-07-11T16:47:01.246-07:002011-07-11T16:47:01.246-07:00Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment, S...Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment, Sandra. :)<br /><br />I'm glad you like my sketch.

Thank you! I should think you have some funny stories to tell!<br /><br />You've also reminded me that there can be cliques amongst the art community - I discovered a couple of very 'closed circles' here when I was exhibiting my pastel paintings and although they were accepting of me, I really didn't want to be part of all that. Artists on the web seem far less prone to pretentiousness, I think?Judy Adamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986456665704994228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813512259260074342.post-5575638839334404282011-06-23T05:51:17.874-07:002011-06-23T05:51:17.874-07:00Ok, first of all, when you love what you do it'...Ok, first of all, when you love what you do it's not a job it's a passion. Even though I run a tack shop with my sis my real job (in my eyes) is painting. And if you think explaining being an artist is something hard for people to accept, try telling them you run a Tack shop when they know nothing about horses! Those confused looks are classic! Anyway there is a huge art community in my town and although I have lived here all my life and most of them are from other areas, they are not very accepting. They are clique-ish. I belong to several art groups and enter the shows, but most of the time no one even says hello. Guess it is just the area. Anyway I do it because I love it and I don't feel weird. Well, maybe a little weird...you have to have some oddness to feed your creativity! Have a great Day Judy, my friend.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08824473397605172813noreply@blogger.com
