As an artist I agonize over the finances of having a very expensive hobby. I have enjoyed the luxury of a fully-functioning artist’s studio for 2 years now. My external clock tells me that it is time to take inventory of what has actually happened as a result of this investment of time, energy, and . . . . oh, yeah, money.
Of course there are the pros and cons; all adventures have them. But more importantly, what is the value system used to quantify a plus or a minus?
