Wow Heidi, I'm so sorry you got that response.
I got mine yesterday. They look nice, it is odd, the paintings themselves look pretty much like I expected them to look, but the rest of it looks darker and browner than it does on my monitor.
At any rate, I am planning on mailing some out this week. My husband is a financial planner so he kindly printed out his mailing list and went through the ones that he knew had young children and that he knows could afford a portrait. The rest of the names on my mailing list are coming from referrals, I have asked a few people that have portraits from me if they knew of anyone that may be interested. One of the girls just gave me 20 names of all of her old college friends that had recently been to visit and had expressed interest in her portrait. My sister-in-law also has given me several names of people that have expressed a little interest at her daughters private school in her town.
My hope is that while I do not know many if not most of the people on my list, that they have all have some form of connection to someone that already has a portrait I have done. I am hoping that this will keep me from getting the response you have unfortunately gotten.
