As winter makes its final stand here in the northeast, the weather it brings is all over the place. One morning may be bitterly cold with wind that cuts to the bone, and the next day could bring unseasonably warm temperatures with sun shining brightly down on the barren landscape. In a way, this is an apt metaphor for an art career. You will find yourself in times of prosperity, and you will find yourself in times when the deck feels like it is stacked against you. The important thing is to keep going no matter what. Don’t fall into complacency during the good times and don’t give in to despair during the more difficult ones. Here are some opportunities.
