When I was young I always wanted to be an artist and live in a big city. I still paint on occasion but what I didn't realize when I was younger that I wasn't cut out to be a starving artist.
I'd love to try to paint again. Maybe when you are retired you can become an artist. My aunt makes a pretty good living at it now and travels all around the world on painting trips.
"not cut out to be a starving artist" - that's why i am reluctant to write. wish i could paint, am the only one in the family who couldn't. but if i could, i'd be wearing a white overall, too! there's just something about painters/artists in their white clothes stained with hundreds of colours! i could so totally picture you, but with a velvet tam o'shanter!
