In Response to "Finding the right Gallery"

Your points are well stated. I've tried my best to paint to sell, but I find that the passion just isn't there if you are laying out paint with the vision of dollar bills blocking your creativity. Don't get me wrong, I'm in it for the money just like the rest of us. How else can we justify and finance what we love to do. But, I've known artists that stay or in my perception become stagnet because they have found what sells. Being true to your own style or signature isn't the same as staying with one look. That's the pinch. Doing art for the love of it and loving yourself enough to lose the fear of never selling it.
