Is there anyone out there that is making their living as an artist in Canada? Anyone...self-sufficient?

I know a fellow named Alan Smutylo who lives in my town

who makes a living doing art. Christopher Pratt and his wife make a very good living--they are on the East Coast. There are some painters of animals and birds whose work goes for thousands for each piece, and hundreds for the repros.

A lot of artist live in the Grey-Bruce area of Ontario.

The best place to live for an artist is in nature. In the country.

Nature and wildlife is good for the mind and heals. Mind is more balanced. Peace and clear mind. Happiness and wellness. Prosper. I feel it is closer to truth.

Cities look like mindful death. To busy and hard to breath. Smog. Greater potencial for herific bad. Cities fall hard and usually first. know what I mean? I geuss, cities have beuty too. They are amazing to drive throw.

I am aboriginal canadian, and paint landscapes.
