You are doing a really good job. <br /><br />The commission sounds interesting. Makes me curious about the photos. But you will do just fine. I had problems with a commission when my Bible study leader wanted a picture done with all her past pets. You should have seen the refs I got."JeanneG"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16398758813763335651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913832932376559679.post-70092089415484858052009-08-21T08:55:22.835-04:002009-08-21T08:55:22.835-04:00Thank you, Dors!

I like to take them myself so I have no one but myself to blame but that's not always possible. <br /><br />And, you're right, prayer does help! I try to pray over every commission because I know I need all the help I can get! I'll add a prayer that yours goes well too!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224954501156534934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913832932376559679.post-15788666218266596332009-08-21T07:56:07.047-04:002009-08-21T07:56:07.047-04:00You're doing a great job, Jan!
I've decid...You're doing a great job, Jan!<br /><br />I've decided that a large part of art is not just technique and color, but problem solving... .just like dealing with streaky photos, eyes that can't be seen and such. I'm starting on a commission that's going to be a challenge... an old black and white photo of a young girl (who's now in her sixties) and her Mother. The photo was enlarged years ago from a small snapshot and the original photo is not available. The enlargement is slightly out of focus... plus the customer wants the portrait done in color! Pray for me :-)Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186138266137470331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913832932376559679.post-23572715793461138992009-08-21T06:42:36.700-04:002009-08-21T06:42:36.700-04:00So cute and looking great so far Jan.

You can see why I couldn't resist painting her. <br /><br />Christine, I don't know whether the owner would be interested in the portrait or not. <br /><br />I will probably work on the pastelmat again especially since I have the new pastel sticks. I think they will help fill the tooth so that the work goes a little faster and maybe better.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224954501156534934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913832932376559679.post-14516464456014878992009-08-21T02:44:22.776-04:002009-08-21T02:44:22.776-04:00what a little cutie, looking goodso farwhat a little cutie, looking goodso fargeraldine.boley@googlemail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11070301334106441345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913832932376559679.post-5636019654684444352009-08-20T22:53:59.820-04:002009-08-20T22:53:59.820-04:00Ah...what a sweet looking little munchkin!

They might even would want to buy it from you. ;o )<br />I haven't had a chance to test the sample of paper any further which you send me, but I will soon. Have you made up your mind on it if you will work with it again?Christine Perry | Graphite Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118651376644330496noreply@blogger.com
