Rewards

Rewards for creating fine art can obviously vary tremendously from person to person.  My rewards are received in several major ways.  The first occurs in my head in the process of conceptualizing a work of art. Initial ideas and feelings for a new creation can emanate from any source.  The enjoyment is to mentally refine various elements into an image.  My next major reward comes in utilizing all the various tools and materials to bring the new art into its physical form.  The completed work in and of its self is a great satisfaction, if it embodies all that I had anticipated...and sometimes even more.  My greatest reward is for others to receive enjoyment from the existence of the art.  Last on my list, but of importance, is the financial gain.  What is it that brings you the greatest rewards?

I couldn't agree more. When you are truely doing art for the love of it and free of any pressures or restrictions, the entire process is rewarding. I might add the element of challenge as a personal reward. I like to solve problems, and to bring an image to life requires a back and forth checking system that can be frustrating yet very rewarding.
