Some of my earliest practice portraits are in the garage where they may never again see the light of day. The better ones are hanging in the homes of the subjects who posed for me, "on loan," where they have occasionally generated commissions from other people who have seen them. I donated one early sample portrait to a charity since the person depicted was related to their cause.
The more recent practice portraits I've done that were good enough are being used as my samples. Most of the year I hang them in my studio, or exhibit them when I do demos etc. I have about five portraits that fit into that category.
