Painting is such a large pool. So many people seem to be drawn to it. My wife makes weavings which she shows in galleries. A much, much smaller pool. But she is a pretty big (if somewhat dated) fish in that little pond. On the other hand, paintings command a much better price than weavings.
I sure wish I could afford to hire someone to upkeep the garden for me. It seems that many (maybe most) of my wife's artist friends are into gardening too. I approach it as an artistic endeavor, and probably one of the most complex .. as well as impermanent. I guess pulling weeds takes the place of washing brushes.
Where do you garden Pyrrho? Oh, and I forgot to mention I also play god in my classroom. I like to think of myself as a benign dictator.

I play God in my yard, too. But when I command things to happen, nothing does. Kind of like the Christian God, doing nothing. If I actually did something, that would not be much like God at all.
