Gerda,
you know how it is today. More quantity, less quality.
It takes way to long time for me to make a painting and it is impossible to do this as a job, because of this. I think there are very few painers that can make this as a living. Then they probably can take very much for the painting or be very productive.
I think my wife is more of an artist than me. I am to "accurate" with details and not so "creative" as she is.
