Hi, October. I agree with the comments about the work you've posted; it's just lovely. It's hard to separate ego from business here since we're all so emotionally involved with what we create, but it's a necessary exercise. At least you're getting the sense from these responses that the failure of the charity auction to work out for you has nothing to do with your ability as a portrait artist! Personally I have never found charity auctions to be particularly helpful. The only commission I ever got via that format was one I was going to get anyway, but minus the percentage I'd promised to the charity. I was NOT happy!
Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
