I count myself fortunate
Not only do I have a hobby (digital art) which gives me much satisfaction, people are kind enough to say they like my creations. It was even suggested yesterday that the Tate Modern might like them!
Although I have sold pictures, I prefer to create them for free to make others happy, but if a person wishes to pay me for my work I ask them to make a donation to charity.
A few well known people have my pictures, they have also been sent to many different countries by e-mail.
