Brian Wisener Fine Art 2.29

Painting has always been something I have done. I left school with a grade one in art and have always painted as a hobby. I noticed friends and family liked my work and were willing to pay me to produce paintings for them. This developed into a hobby that paid for itself. I have never seen painting as a job or as work because I love painting,
Normally, when I am not painting commissions, I paint whatever catches my eye, that could be anything from the beauty of a horse, a sunset or the power of a motorbike thundering down a road.
I was made redundant in August 2013 and I am finding it hard to get work. For this reason I am setting my self up as a self employed artist, I want to test the waters, can I make a living as an artist, who knows, however, whatever way it works out I will always produce art because I enjoy it.
