<p>Thank you Cellocompmom2! That is a great piece!</p>
<p>woodwinds - It’s wonderful that your daughter has been successful in sales and still participates in art. I’ve heard stories from our piano teacher how her students move on to many fields and do well. I think kids that are motivated and driven will continue to do so throughout their life. </p>
<p>That said, I have had family members involved in both music and art. Some have done very well while others have struggled in careers. IMHO, it’s not the art or music education itself that causes the outcome. It’s the level of passion or motivation one has that defines it.</p>
<p>chip990, I agree that it’s more about having passion and motivation, not where you went to school or what kind of art or music. My artist daughter loves art. Now if she just painted portraits, the commissions she gets, I think she would like it less. Or if she only did still lifes, which is a good way to make regular money as people love buying still lifes. She takes her art to another level, paints in her own style, and doesn’t care if someone wants to buy it or not. But they usually do.</p>
