I know that some of the artists we love came from very wealthy families and were supported by them, or inherited large sums -- Manet, Mary Cassatt. But it breaks my heart that Emily Carr couldn't paint for 15 years because she had to run a boarding house to survive.<br /><br />And one of her paintings sold for 3.3 million dollars recently! It is a juicy topic indeed!<br /><br />XOXOXOXOXO Barbara<br />Barbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-3607925210005807862015-03-26T12:10:23.897-07:002015-03-26T12:10:23.897-07:00love the loose fluid nature of these tulips.

I am about to open an 8 artist-run gallery in the village and at our meeting yesterday to figure out the details for our April 17th grand opening, we were talking about the uniqueness of our gallery and I said something like "our gallery is a commercial one" and then I apologised for saying 'commercial' and then others said "what's wrong with commercial? We WANT to sell our work". <br />I don't know how we ever got the idea that 'real' art is so rarified that any talk of $ is crude. Yet we have to eat, pay mortgages and make room for more artwork.<br />It's a great topic Barbara...one that could go into a number of posts!<br />I love your tulips. xoox Flora Doehlerhttp://floradoehler.canoreply@blogger.com
