Portraits are always very difficult as people see different things in peoples faces. But I think you captured the main features.<br />I think those that are following your drawing, know to find you here. I had the same problem, deciding whether to set up a new blog, when I started my studio, but in the end I decided it was best to stay where people knew how to find me.Janice Ashworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13664177031515405967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876442896209231570.post-3441877816495447302012-01-02T12:29:32.913-08:002012-01-02T12:29:32.913-08:00Thanks Carol, thats just it I find it all so enjoy...Thanks Carol, thats just it I find it all so enjoyable and cant wait for warmer days to sit out sketching.<br /><br />Thank you Mick, always a great support to me - remember long ago it was you that got me to carry on with Bags of Swank when I almost gave up. I do wonder sometimes if family members are jealous they have not followed their own dreams.<br /><br />LOL, OH offered to buy one for 10p as it would still be a sale. I think you will have plenty of time to save up yet, but thank you anyway.SimJaTahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482689186804515746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876442896209231570.post-57301466468414038302012-01-02T12:22:52.858-08:002012-01-02T12:22:52.858-08:00The Greyhound picture is fantastic and the pencil ...The Greyhound picture is fantastic and the pencil work is improving leaps and bounds in such a short space of time...keep this up and you will be selling. You have got to have belief (oh and talent which you obviously already have). I regularly have to endure the un-supportive family thing (not with my immediate family) but for some reason Mums and Dads expect more (I put it down to jealousy)...whatever dreams my own son/daughter have in their lives I will support them all the way.<br /><br />Can't wait for your first painting to be listed so that I can buy it and you get to take that photo!!!Shpanglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12120509166883105818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876442896209231570.post-49246837553812521762012-01-02T12:10:42.075-08:002012-01-02T12:10:42.075-08:00I think you are showing great potential.

I used to sit sketching a lot a few years ago and remember one occasion I was sitting on a fishing platform by a lake. It was all so quiet and I sat for some time quite still and a little water rat came up to the platform and carried out his personal ablutions, cleaning whiskers and fur thoroughly, it was a lovely feeling.<br />Sorry about that, couldn't resist telling you of it. Keep it up, you will sooo enjoy it.CarolC1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09436022602288142123noreply@blogger.com
