Petrichor and Sweet Candies with lame spices.

Journal Entry: Wed Oct 31, 2012, 4:21 AM


First of all, I want to say thanks to everyone who faved, commented and shared my artworks. You have no idea how much I struggle to find motivation to paint and to be honest, the good people here on dA have given me more than enough. Thank you.

And with regards to my latest Daily Deviation Feature, I want to thank everyone who extended their words of appreciation for my piece. I never really expected it and I am overwhelmed by each and every comment I read, both on the dA's facebook page and here. I'll say I am truly happy and grateful for receiving such nice words from different people.

I am still striving to somehow convert my passion into a way of living and it really is not that easy. I'm still new to the industry, considering I've only started oil painting around 3 years ago and it's just this year that I get the chance to join some group art shows. I'm quite sure I still have a long way to go with lots of frustrating stuff to deal with, so reading something motivational like what you say about my works really means a lot to me. It certainly makes me want to paint more pictures.

By the way, I just quit my graphic design job of two years last September to pursue painting and I am proud to say that I really enjoy my life right now. It'll be harder than usual, I know, but my love for painting is enough to keep me going. The future is still uncertain, it has always been, but at least right now, I am really happy.

free tomatoes for my lame words, I'm sorry haha

To be honest, I have no idea how to end this journal. Take care! Have a lovely day! Smile! Yay.

I wish you all the best in the chosen field. Supporting yourself through your art can be extremely difficult but I have a lot of respect for people who choose to be true to their calling and choose this path.

I was actually envious of you because you get to paint even as a professional, that's why I quit my job. LOL Kidding. But yeah, this is what I love to do so this is what I will do. Thank you very much for your wishes. All the best to your career, too! :)

Thanks, I need all the luck and good wishes I can get. :) I've been trying to support myself by painting and it's been difficult. I am still doing it, even though I am looking for more income in order to pay for my projects. As time goes I want more, I want things that I couldn't do in a home studio. But whatever happens I still manage to survive and it is so much better than office work :nod:
