Learning Moment: Bali, Indonesia
Today was another busy day.
I visited the monkey forest and got some free grooming from a new little pal.
Angie and I walked about 5 miles - from Ubud, through Peliatan, and back.
And we bought a pile of paintings...
Two things that I was reminded of:
First, it's hard to get a better bargain for your art dollar than the one you'll find in Bali.
We got five paintings of Balinese dancers, including the one on the left, for about US$65.
Second, I would never try to make my living as an artist. Barriers to market entry are approximately zero. Branding is almost impossible. It's really difficult to articulate the 'value' of your product. And everyone (along with their sisters) believes they are either an artist or an art critic.
There's got to be an easier way to make a living...
