Leslie, thanks for the memory.
It was Catherine, but it turns out her name is Cathleen. WHICH might explain why I am not selling!
Memory is really bad.
WetCanvas and the world missed me lately due to a less than productive venture into non-human. They called it nature inspired and As the day job takes most of the day, I was working my usual 9 hours a week on cactus and landscapes. I am happy with the work and must say that branching out like that made me more confident of my portraits so in spite of only a single sale, it was not a bust.
I feel a bit shaky in here with the big guns and am still feeling out the territory. The fine line of portraits and the traditions seem to weigh me lately, as I have commented. I am much happier painting than anything else, so if I keep doing it and find time now and then to let people know, and get a few brochures in strategic places, I may glide through Christmas before I feel overwhelmed again!
Thanks for your lovely comment and I agree: He looked like that TO ME!
