“I expected too much after doing 2 years of fine art, I expected to be earning well quickly.”
“It’s hard to earn enough money from art, unless you are extremely famous.”
“An artist who has to earn their living from painting has to be far more productive, they have to put in the hours and churn out paintings.”
Pat Munro joins us on the podcast for a look at what a day in the life of an artist as well as a Managing Director is like.
Pat studied fine art for 2 years with the goal of becoming a commercial artist. In order to earn more, he instead entered into the engineering field with his first job starting at a metallurgical laboratory at the Ford motor company in PE. After working at Armstrong Hydraulics he joined an American company in the oil industry where he progressed to the position of Managing Director/President of South African operations.
After a 42 year period from 1965 to 2007 Pat returned to art, creating 45 paintings that went on exhibition in 2012. Now in retirement, Pat is a successful artist who believes that each of his two careers have taken place at the right times in his life. We take a look at what happened.
