Thank you both!
The lucky thing for me is that they do the open studio in the day time in the summer so I am not able to do only people to quench the muse!
The aim toward figurative did get my piece, Comfort, into the National Watercolor Society Show tour for this year. I am taking photos with a new 10x digital eavesdropping on poses and using them more, but this year, a fortunate quirk began me painting animal portraits. 8x10 for $160 but I got myself allied with a few animal rescue groups and managed five or six. Still no big commissions or sales to speak of. The painting and I are getting along fine, the big problem is: Day job takes up the days where I need to be making contacts to sell the stuff I do all night!
Since this is not a critique, I am attaching my latest, a boxer.

I am attaching the link as apparently even non-critique pups are verboten. )
