been lost for 31 years. Thank you for helping find my way. JD California USA ****************************************\\... Dear Colin, It was terrific to have met you while you were visiting Western Australia, and s o luckily be able to obtain from you the book you have written  called "how to make a living as an artist". The book itself has been totally inspirational in that it has given me a sense of direction and ambition towards developing my artwork  and thus becoming a successful artist. To also be able to talk personally to such a successful artist as yourself, has created within me a growing confidence about my own self-esteem and potential, which has to now, been somewhat retarded by my negative "Inner Critic". Your discussion about the left brain/right brain modalities, and the necessary balancing of the two spheres, has made me realize just how much my left brain is dysfunctional, in the realms of business management and how to have confidence enough to be able to "sell" myself, and what I create- in others words to "be out there ", instead of remaining in my insular studio, and to start mixing with people involved with artistic interests, especially in the areas of painting, printmaking, and of course necessary drawing. And thanks again of the offer of visiting you in the UK , to see the studio and the processes of giclee printing. I hope that what  you have written  in "How to make a living as an artist" inspires
