In 1981 I was 20, and living in California. I had a confidence in my artistic ability back then that astounds the me that is today. With my sketchbook in hand I walked into a pediatrician's office and pitched a mural idea. A week later I was painting that mural.
My dream is to make a living as an artist.
My leap has been to turn down a few temp jobs in favor of pursuing my art a bit more.
My first net...
I like to paint in public places. I like the positive feedback I receive, the wonder that I see in children's eyes as the color hits the canvas. I was doing just that at a coffee shop. A very nice woman came up to encourage me. We ended up having a half hour conversation. I will be painting a mural in her son's room sometime in the next month.
Her son is only 10, but he has an eye for color and design. He will be assisting me in painting the mural as well. The mural will be a sophisticated urban scene with some musical components. I will be sharing photos soon.
I have confidence that this will lead to more nets.
