Job

Michael,

Thank you for your comment. To the point!

Carol,

I consider what I do a job and it doesn't bother me when someone refers to my "hobby". And thank you for pointing out that people don't mean anything by it, they just don't know what kind of dedication it takes. Gosh, I didn't know until I got serious about painting.

I spend a lot of money each year on supplies, frames, classes, workshops and traveling associated with the workshops, and . . .what else. . . gas. (As I know everyone does). And oh yes, now I rent a space where I sell my artwork so I spend 5K a year on rent. So I suppose even if I didn't make any money at all, it would still be a job. That's sort of what I was getting at, aside from the money, is it a job? I've had 'jobs' where I didn't get paid and it was called volunteer work!

Joan
