Debra,

I think you are very talented and believe or not you know what's best for yourself.

I decided I would concentrate on my own work, until I croak. I found that going around in an "antique or classic car", buying flip-flops at Walmart instead of shoes at Neimans and patching up my dress sweatpants was better than spending the time drumming up portrait customers.

I don't like backgrounds either unless they are simple flat and decorative. You can do a lot with just a face or a figure. Actually it is, I think, more difficult and satisfying to just do simple figurative work. You have to be aware where all the parts are, not so easy.

Sincerely,
  Reply With Quote
