Thanks, Alicia, for all of that pep talk.
I admit I needed that. I won't go further for fear of turning this thread into a "Dear Abby" one. But I can relate to what you are telling me. I will check out the book you told me about. I thought I was beyond that self-help book stuff. I know all you are saying in my heart of hearts and I am not usually this way. My family is very supportive about my work but for the REALIST in the family and he keeps doing reality checks. Unfortunately, it is his interpretation of reality not mine. My painting has held my life for many years and will as long as I can do it.
Whew-w-w-w-w.
Now, a deep breath, and a great thanks again for this site and all of you here who give a boost when needed.

Although my studio was built as dedicated space, and is 100% devoted to my art, I have a family member who will not refer to it in any way other than the "back bedroom

And Chris, with that I can relate too, they all looked at me when I wanted my studio outside of my house. I built it practically by myself with as much help from hubby as he could give. (Most of the plan was his). I mean literally, too. OOPS!!! I believe woodworking and painting was in another thread. I will never regret it either, even if I do have three extra bedrooms. My studio/gallery is my haven into another realm. I feel so lucky.
Thanks to all
