Tatyana Fogarty 's comment on I'd Rather Be Painting

Hi Kathleen,
This is a question I keep asking myself:how much time should I devote to internet? Shouldn't I be spending all of my time painting trying to become a better painter rather then establishing my "web presence"? But it seems like it has become an urgent reality of these days even for an aspiring artist like myself. Whenever you enter your work into any show or join any Art Club, they always ask you about your website. Finally, I got frustrated to always have to say that I don't have one and decided to just do it, and signed up with FASO.
Now I am even more confused and I don't know which is better - to be upset about not having a website or about spending so much time updating it?
Tatyana.
