You know, this is tough - I think no comment is much worse than anything. I don't think it is worth it to take the time and money to put something up for critique and face . . . silence.

So for now, I will do my 1,000 hours or so drawing, join the Portrait Society down in Atlanta, and keep plugging along.

I work full-time, so I read with envy the shares of those who can devote themselves full-time to their art. I'm a single mom, have to support myself and my son, and this is the first year I've had to devote more time to what I want to do.

Thanks, Steven, for your support on the other critique I put on the site. I think I'll go back now to lurking, learning and not letting discouragement keep me from doing what I want to do.
