Terri Ficenec: Saying Hello!
I am really excited to be joining this forum!
My previous painting experience has been primarily for my own enjoyment. Recently, I started receiving requests for portraits after people noticed a portrait of mine (attached below) while it was at the local frameshop. I've always wanted to paint professionally, but until now lacked the confidence. Somehow this unexpected interest in my work, combined with turning 40 prompted me to actually try to make a go of it. (Call it a mid-life crisis, I guess it's now or never!)
I was somewhat at a loss as to how to price my work, how to structure contracts, etc. but browsing around this site and has already been very helpful! And the work I've seen posted is inspiring.
One thing I've noticed is that hardly anyone else seems to do portraits in acrylic. I would be interested in understanding why no one seems attracted to this medium? Is there less of a market for it?
