      Reading through this thread I can see a lot of peoples stories are like my own,I thought I was to old for this,but when I really thought about it lots of artists are older,I dont think it matters for art.I think you could continue painting well into your retirement years and make some extra income.Good luck you have many happy years of painting ahead of you.

        I've taught people to oil paint in there 80's and they have gone on to sell paintings so unless your a football player age means nothing.

            @jose-ramos It does! but freelancers are often hired by clients, and illustrators hired on contract and freelance by publishers. It's rare (in the US anyways) to have full-time illustrators on staff for a big company unless it's in advertising or working as a concept artist for animation.
