Chupacabre or Art Collector?

It's been a long working summer and I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel.  I have travelled to the Bay Area twice, Tahoe twice and spent a large portion of my time searching local venues as well.  Tracking that elusive, almost legendary, creature, the Art Collector has been exhausting, to say the least.  No chupacabre could be so difficult to catch!

There have been some sells, some promises for future purchases and some contacts made.  Yet, I wonder-ponder-query...is it time for a sabbaticle from selling art? Should the pursuit of creating art overtake the pursuit of sales in a deadened economy? Are the Art Collectors in estuation? If so, could this be the time for a personal creative surge? I find myself craving the time and energy to create.  And so, as the events and shows die down, ideas float, surface and gasp for air.
