PORTRAIT READY TO GO

This painting is paid for and ready to ship. Portrait commissions are so often a problem unless the patron is a fan of your art, period. Such was the case for this painting. So I could relax into the painting, no harping little critic in my head. Just soar, dance and struggle with myself. I've never met this young woman but I did get a lot of photographs, snap shots, from her father to give a sense of different angles.

FINALLY GOT A GOOD PHOTO!!!!!!!!

I finally got a good photograph of this little painting. I think subconsciously I didn't want a good picture, wanted to keep it off the Big Web. I do like to share. This country, this culture IS suffering from art starvation. Make More Art!

Tah-dah!

CARE

I subbed for caregivers for Charlotte. It was challenging in oh so many ways. Crazy Carl is in rehab. Charlotte needs 24 hour company in addition to assistance.

Here is the small sketch on the front porch.
