Day 34
March 20th, 2010
It’s official.
Today is the first official day of spring. And it’s my break even day. Yay!
See, up to now I’ve been taking a loss on the paintings. I really love this project and I’ve been excited about every single day, but I’ve considered everything up to now almost like a gift. And I love giving gifts, so this whole experience and hearing from all of you has been very rewarding even without the money. But I also like to eat.
Considering materials and preparation and time, I estimate the absolute minimum I have invested in each painting to be around $35. So starting tomorrow, I’ll just begin to break even. Isn’t that exciting?
