What I'm saying is...eschew the nebulous "they" you refer to. Form your own opinions and their feelings be damned. If you're lamenting the lack of commercial success, there are very, very few artists that find it in their lifetime. And those that do, like Thomas Kinkade, are oft times complete hacks. Create art not for the sake of fame and success, but because it calls out to you "I must be made."
