My dad was an artist, but even more unusual, he made a good living at it and supported his family well doing that for his whole life. ...he died a few years ago but everytime I see one of his paintings it brings back lots of good memories.
Most of his income was from ecclesiastical art and decoration ...mostly churches of course... but some other stuff too like the Academy of Music, Masonic Temple, hotel lobbies, private homes, etc. He also always painted "paintings" for fun and profit but most income was this other aspect of his work.
