I am a very grateful product of the daily painting movement. Almost eight years ago, I started painting daily. After a week of posting on DPW, I began to regularly sell my work. Hurrah!!! Since then I've sold many paintings, won several awards and now I teach weekly oil painting classes and the occasional workshop. I cannot believe my good fortune. To the people who started the daily painting movement and developed it into what it is today, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Without you I would be currently working in the cafeteria of the local high school. Instead, I'm doing what I love.
