Wow Joan... you have just floored me. How sweet of you to take the time to say such nice, encouraging things.
You know the saying " the more answers you get the more questions you have", well I feel like I've learned so much about painting this year, yet remain I so far from what I don't know yet. Is also difficult (but rewarding) in the midst of that to sort of what personal style I want to guard. It can make one bipolar!
That was so nice to read your email. What a pick-me-up.
May I say by the way to anyone who is intimidated by the whole thing but really wants to be out there doing portraiture for hire that - push yourself to get public with your work, get used to dealing with your artwork in the public eye. If you get work great, if you don't you, ask yourself "what isn't communicating". Change it, but don't sell yourself.
Thanks again Joan, really
