I’ve often thought that if I had received tips from people who come and enjoy my work at a show or exhibit booth, I’d do quite well for myself. Musicians receive tips for sharing their work for a few moments. And since a visual treat can be just as pleasing and memorable for some folks, why do we not have tip jars for visual artists? Money is good and I welcome my growing wealth and independence. So, I have decided to include a donation button on my blog for those who wish to express their appreciation of my work with a donation. I appreciate any feedback I receive here. Your comments and compliments are always welcome, and now, so is your tip.
Now that I think about it, I often receive tips when I am painting faces at an event. I think that is considered more of a service, like a haircut or manicure, and that is why I am tipped in those settings. But when they tip me they compliment not only my kindness to their child, but also the quality of the painting, so they do seem to want to express their gratitude for the art.
