I agree with Franklin. Professionalism is a working attidute. And I think education (whether you are self taught or attended some sort of school) and experience help you shape this attidute, or work ethic. It's about having the knowledge and the tools to deliver your product. It's not just knowing how to paint a certain subject, but also knowing how to deal with the clients to ensure their satisfaction (and your own) all along the process.Example: Not all pro football players win the Superbowl, or even play all the games, but all of them go to practice every week. Because it is their profession. It doesn't matter if they play, it doesn't matter if they win. They show up on time and do the work. They get prepared. They practice and practice, every play and every variation, over and over again. So, when the time comes, hopefully they will know what to do. Whether it's because they've done it before, or because they've done similar things for so long they know how to assess the situation, a professional will know how to react so he/she can deliver the goods.If you add this work ethic (knowledge/experience) to a burning desire of materializing your artistic vision through producing the most honest and best quality art work that you possibly can, I'd say that you a professional artist.
