I know that money isn't the object here but my goodness, a quilter? When my step-sister was pregnant with boy/girl twins, she decided to do up the nursery in bright primary colors (which I think babies like better anyway). I wanted to get her something really special and looked up some prices for Amish crib quilts on the internet...well, for the same amount of money I could've bought her a new car or something, so I had to go to Plan B (Burt's Bees Baby Bee gift baskets). I really wanted those quilts, though.
Forget the painting for right now and give yourself permission to do something easier. If that means crocheting or quilting, how wonderful...you're still creating, you're still making a beautiful (and expensive!) thing from raw materials - you're still an artist. Right now you might be thinking, oh what does it matter. That's the depression talking...it does matter, it matters a LOT. Take my word...
