I'm trying to wimp out, my husband is pushing me to do it. Not so much for the money, but for the fact it will get me organized. I can't believe how long that application is.

Anyway, I think I have two people to give me letters of recomendation. One is a professional portrait painter and one is a Certified art appraiser out of South Carolina. She also owns a gallery and paints herself. She isn't a portrait artist, but don't you think she would be more than qualified as a reference?

I have always been so insecure about this art stuff, simply because I don't have formal training.

As far as the resume, I was thinking too, besides clients, do I list things like portraits that have been donated to charity auctions, and works that I did for Designer Charity houses and so forth?
