Mike,

Ok, I undertsand, and sorry for asking a question you already answered. I understand feeling like you are better in one than in the other. I feel like my pastels are better than my oils and why people still hire me and pay more for something I think isn't is good is beyond me.
Maybe it isn't as obvious to untrained eyes as it is to just the average person, but it is blatant to me and I want to be proficient at both..there again, it takes practice, and practice takes time and time is something I have very little of these days. SO, I getchya.

Oh, and thanks for posting those, my memory has now been jogged. And really, do any of the portraits we see on this forum look the same as in person? I know none of mine do.

Julie, like you, I feel like why turn down ANY opportunities for commissions at this point in my life? But still, it bothers me that my time isn't compensated the same.
