i guess i did pretty poorly on making this "a journal on my transition". sorry! after i really started painting full time, it took over my life.
thanks Mary! i really didn't have much of a choice. i guess the great update to this post is that since i posted it, i have moved east from chicago into northern indiana. country living compared to anything i have had in the past. my partner designed the house, and it is perfect. i have a beautiful studio with lots of north light, and a view across our meadow of an old farmhouse. although i have depleted my 401k getting here, as least i can live on, and still support creating canvases with social security (which i had to take at 62 to keep food in the house) and a small pension from my former employer, i can get by here where taxes are low, and prices just a BIT less than in chicago. so this was a reminder to be grateful for what i have, vs complaining about lack of sales! i am living the life.
Jay, I admire your courage. I am rapidly approaching 60, have a day job and commute that wear me out and wish I had the guts to do what you are doing. You have done much more than me--if someone likes your work, you are a success. I hope it's not too late for me.
