Sandy--need some input

"I just haven't figured out the perfect marriage between faith to the work and faith to the clients."

Boy can I relate to that, Lisa! I'm having a tough time learning how to do just that. And what else you said, about other people creating works of art while.....and I'll speak for myself.....I create pictures of people. That's exactly how I feel right now.

But your work is beautiful - I don't think you'll have any problems with that, if you do now, for long! I like your sample here. However, to flatter your sitter more would probably be appreciated, as has already been suggested.

I'll look forward to seeing more of this series as you post them - you will, won't you?

Hi Julie!

Great to hear from you. I hate to admit it but it's also nice to hear from someone who feels like I do. I figure if you feel that way then I am in really good company. "I feel your pain" or more appropriately you feel my pain.

The woman whose portrait is in the sample is definitely attractive but I assure you I flattered. I can't say her age but she is older than she looks in the portrait I promise. I will be changing the mouth and will repost that in the next few days.

I will certainly post the portraits either as I complete them or all at one time and I appreciate your expressed interest and encouragement.
