A little bit of a sad day yesterday… finally decided to throw in the towel trying to sell or even give away my art via my own methods. I shut down my little small business enterprise and will no longer try and sell crafts at all.
It has been years and a bit of a mini money pit as I have tried various means of selling and marketing my art… Just doesn’t look like there is any chance of it working out in any form. I have had about one friend in the last 7 years I have hung out with, I am surprised how much I expected it to work out, wishful thinking I guess… It would seem almost any sort of popularity is out of the question… at least that is what it is looking like. They really are doing their best to make me feel as secluded as possible…
I think any sales or interest I had over the years was solely to get my hopes up in order to make it worse when it didn’t work out each time… It is probably just best to get off the roller coaster and accept that there is no chance that painting will work out in any form…
What I plan to do, is just start donating my paintings to the Salvation Army… Hopefully I don’t get a call someday that they would no longer like me to drop them off… Wouldn’t surprise me at all though… If that happened, then I would just have to paint and throw one away as I finished the next one… I don’t plan to stop painting anyways…
I believe they make it out into the world either way… Like even when the flood happened and a bunch of my paintings got hit by it, part of me believes people already made copies and put them in my house, that the originals are still out there somewhere…
A little sad and depressing for sure… “C’est la vie” I guess…
