It was similar like this, more brownish...

Why people go to gallery.

In my brain, there were an argument that whether the painting work is just a linen fablic with nice colors or something more valuable.

You know, some nice canvas-prints are found at winners for about 50 dollars. Good price.
But is it really the painting only to decorate wall? I saw the answer for myself.

Today, I went to some gallery in Lakeshore and saw barbizon style paintings.
It is the normal local color, and normal green landscape. but.....the brush strokes are just amazing! I really felt the artist out her spirit in each brush strokes....and I felt the warm wind, temperatures of the forest. This painting had real "aura".

What Being Freelance Artist Means...

From Bobby, I learned being an freelance artist takes so much responsibility...

There are two kinds: the one settle down with mediocre(struggling with mortgages with mild income), and the other strives for establishing own name (so he eventually might get upper-middle class level...)

Both options have uncertainty. Let me figure out how much energy I can put into.
