I am not talking about selling your art through corporations but about self-promotion, hiring an agent, selling out of your own studio, taking on private commissions, selling at fairs, etc.
Does anyone really want to have 1000 canvasses at home, without a red cent paid to them in terms of profit to cover the costs and provide an income? It is like poetry editors who tell me that 'publication provides its own rewards.'
Of course, I can write poetry anytime for myself and for personal expression or for a cause or charity. I don't want to sell everything. Some would be better for a reading or a journal or charity to a magazine. However, does anyone want to wait tables the rest of his or her life?
