Thanks for your kind words Stanka...I'm thinking that maybe I will write a book about what I know...

This past week was a bummer Three clients waiting in line for portraits of their children backed out - "postponed," they said - due to the financial hit they took when the economy recently headed south. This is the first I have felt the pinch. Needless to say, this has freed up a chunk of my time. Rats.

Anyhow, I wrote to North Light and the following was part of their reply to me:

Quote:
However, I must tell you that our demand for oil painting authors is not high right now. Oil painting is not a medium that sells as well for us as some others, particularly watercolor, therefore we publish fewer oil books, though we do receive quite a few proposals....
Frankly, I'm not the least bit discouraged...I might just write it anyhow and give them a second chance, peddle it elsewhere or simply make one heck of a lengthy post on this website!
