I agree with you wholeheartedly. It has only been in the last few years (I am 61) I have realised that when I have a viewer in mind, or think of making work for others, think about how others will like my work (in other words, ego, as you said), it becomes work and a chore and I lose the joy, which is my reason for art in the first place. I don't sell my work, but if someone loves something, I am likely to just give it to them. That is the joy of art.
