Portfolios

[Mary Sparrow]

Yes, I have been doing this for about 12 years, so I have plenty, of course I'd only be willing to show what I have done in the last year, but that is more than 20, so..

And, um, NO, I wouldn't take a picture of my studio, there is no bed down there to shove the mess under .

[Michele Rushworth]

At an easter egg hunt Sunday I was approached by a very enthusiastic young (RICH) mother that wants a portrait and asked me to let her her have a tea for me so that she could show me off to all of her friends in Charlotte. (That is the way she put it) I was later informed that I would be a fool to not jump on it, that she was indeed smack in the middle of all the old charlotte money.

Now I have to ask myself: Why do I live in Seattle?

Anyway, Peggy Baumgaertner says to have about 12 of your best paintings in a portfolio. Even if you have more, twelve is about all people can absorb. I have a double page spread for each portrait. an image of the overall painting on the right and on the left of the spread, a closeup of the head.

You should use any other empty pages in your album for bio and promotional material about yourself.

Mary, where did you find the album you describe?

[Mary Sparrow]

Well, Michelle, seems to me from recent conversations that you are doing just fine out there in Seattle!

I actually found the girl on ebay, and emailed her explaining what I was looking for. She emailed back with several options.

Mary,

Your price seems pretty good.

I ordered mine from http://www.michelcompany.com
