Who supports your art career?

For the next couple of weeks I am consciously going out and searching for different sources of inspiration.  Recently I had a painting in an exhibition at the African American Museum in Dallas, unfortunately there were only twenty five people in attendance, half of those in attendance were friends that I had invited.  Although the exhibition didn't garner lots of recognition from the public I felt like an art icon because I had friends that came to support me.  I only had one painting on display.  This week I am choosing the support of friends as my source of inspiration.  Thanks to all of those individuals who continue to show support throughout the years.
