I am ...Thanks Theresa for visiting and commenting. I am excited about this new direction my career is taking. <BR/><BR/>I practiced architecture for almost 9 years, and dedicated almost 13 years total including education. It has been an interesting career and I still love looking and investigating the art of architecture. I just became burned out by the profession which in my experience is 5% creative work and 95% paper pushing and dull work. This was my experience, others may find more enjoyment out of producing construction documents. Working to produce the construction documents just became a grind to me.eLIZabeth Floydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853872667353264839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233388208503954162.post-38844757260523954192009-03-23T03:36:00.000-04:002009-03-23T03:36:00.000-04:00I was just wondering how long you worked as an arc...I was just wondering how long you worked as an architect. Being an architect was a dream for me, except that I never had a chance to pursue it - there were so many other things to study, so many interests, so little time...theresamillerwatercolorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392595279030557008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233388208503954162.post-73803929785244281262009-03-23T03:32:00.000-04:002009-03-23T03:32:00.000-04:00Wow, congratulations on the transition to being a ...Wow, congratulations on the transition to being a fulltime artist!!!

People often think I'm kidding but I believe that the tension that comes with the on-going decision making can be very stressful, albeit good stress...I feel wiped out sometimes..and that's not even the plein air days! There's nothing like it though...Paula Villanovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06591055157296767053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233388208503954162.post-60789648464707023622009-03-21T21:12:00.000-04:002009-03-21T21:12:00.000-04:00Thanks for your suggestion "A".

In the next six months I am going to investigate this more and see what will work best. <BR/><BR/>I appreciate the compliment and like receiving feedback. Thanks and have a nice weekend.

Now that you're doing this full time, I'd love to see you set up a storefront at the handmade website, www.etsy.com. Your work is far more skilled and professional than a lot of artists that are getting much higher prices for their work than you're getting on Ebay. Etsy has lower fees, a very simple interface, and a huge marketplace, which means a lot of exposure for artists, and you set your price. I sell prints of my artwork and the occasional original there and have had a great experience. I do no marketing except occasional relisting and am doing a good business. If it's not for you, I totally understand, but I wanted you to know it was out there!Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17905923258826602899noreply@blogger.com
