How I Became An
Artist
so many
years since i was in the office typing and filing
traded it in to
pursue my real life study art seriously
of course back
then we were told a woman can't be an artist
a mother can't be an
artist who do you think you are trying to be an artist
there was
sacrifice so many days when others were out to play
there i was alone in the studio years spent going in one direction
or another only to
find it was a dead end ...start again
oh so many years
ago i remember an artist friend said he gave himself two years
to become a portrait
artist still at it some 20 years later but he has found his
signature
his own way to
visually say it i am not sure why
people often
think after a long profession at something else now i will become an
artist
would they say that
of becoming a concert pianist i guess i would say start early
one might work in
the office so they can study art for one does have to find a way
to support himself while he is becoming an artist there are no guarantees
