@sharmin I read your post. Being an artist is not always easy. It is a calling for me - a spiritual calling, but I have not been very successful at it in the capitalist sense of the word. That fact, has frustrated me to the point where I have had to find other reasons to make art - like - I have used it to develop my psychic ability and to do readings and drawings for people. I have been able to sell those. I am a tattoo artist - and I am able to sell those. You cannot just rely on your art alone to sell, unless you are one of the chosen few - which I am not. I am not willing to sell my soul to sell my art - that would be an oxymoron - so, that is my cross to bear. Being an artist, has however, made me very sensitive. It has made me care almost too much for Gaia and her creatures - because I am, as yet, powerless to stop the machine that is killing the earth and her beautiful creatures and environments. But, I have to contain my grief and carry on. So in that way, Art is a spiritual teacher. Best of opportunities to you!
