That's the joy of doing commissions - your opinion doesn't always matter.

Jeff, I'm so glad you posted this. There is nothing so thrilling as having somebody love a painting enough to pay for it. It's especially thrilling when that other person is an artist. I find it very hard to believe that this is Jimmie's first sale! It definitely won't be the last one. This is a beautiful drawing.

Jeff,

Congratulations to Jimmie and you. I'm a big fan of Jimmie's work also. Obviously you and Kim have excellent taste! Linda's right: Jimmie has every reason to be optimistic about his art career.

Thanks guys, I'm blushing as I type.

Ha, I don't think I've ever expressed my views on voluptous women here.

Kim, looking foward to the honor of doing your portrait.

Very kind words, but I'm surprised I got one so soon. It will be a year at the end of the month when I started taking drawing seriously, after not doing so since high school.

Thanks again, especially Jeff.

Hi Jeff, Jimmie,

I've been away for awhile, and am back home and didn't want to pass up the opportunity to congratulate both of you. You Jimmie for your fine work, and Jeff for your knowing good work when you see it. Way to go to you both!

Magdalena
