Self taught painter here who produces hundreds of works yearly without showing out to the world. I am enjoying the process of making art and the idea of showing selling has been pushed out because socializing takes too much energy leaving me with less for actual art making. There is an idea of maybe one day doing it full time, idea which will require some marketing and selling some work unless I get lucky in another way and can retire from full time programming. However, there is a social aspect. Few people saw my work and were moved by some works which I immediately gifted to them. It felt like a full circle connecting: I enjoyend the process which generated the artwork but once done I no longer needed them and accumulating works is hard if you’re poor. When given out to someone it feels like a healthy purge.
