Hi Janel,

I've been digging through the threads to try and catch up on what I missed while I was away, teaching in Atlanta. Congratulations on your first commission. I think you've done a beautiful job. I particularly like the little girl. The progress you've made since you first posted the portrait of your daughter has been exciting to see. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to seeing upcoming commissions.

The most compelling thing about painting, for me at least, is that there is never an end to my own self improvement and growth. How boring it would be otherwise. Better than a roller coaster.

But I caution you to be careful letting on to people that you love what you do so much. They may start asking you to pay them.
