You hop on the road at different places for different reasons. Struggle goes with the territory and doubt and other difficulties are unavoidable. But finding your "true" self in the journey makes the struggle worthwhile. In the art world, there are no rules except those by which you choose to follow. But the tried and true generally work pretty good...honesty, integrity, hard work, a sense of humor and I'm with you on the personal approach. I think that the internet makes it VERY difficult for things to be authentic. That is where I am right now. It may change down the road, but for now, I need to quit all the baloney and just paint. Good luck and stay in touch!Laura Dietrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844430559046255411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891964520031757206.post-63277344916561211872016-02-23T13:22:05.969-05:002016-02-23T13:22:05.969-05:00Phew!

I SO hear you... have been struggling for a while now on just what to do about the internet/ marketing/ etc... since I'm a novice, I don't have a following yet - and am struggling with my approach. I like getting the blogs to my email. Somehow it seems more personal!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16505456097592320485noreply@blogger.com
