Hi Linda,

I've had a mixed reaction. Although I've had a recent cancellation due to the economy, in its place (it seems) I got a new commission. Lately, I've been happy to discover people that have a wonderfully sentimental attitude towards owning a portrait. They also seem to clue in on the fact that it is paint on canvas, a work of art that is collectible and meant to be cherished.

My cancellations (2 since 9/11) have been really affluent families, who saw the portrait as another 'thing' to add to their collections and therefore not necessary. (Of course, my own deduction).

I have also raised my prices substantially to no ill effect, so that's a good sign. Yippee.

Overall, I think we should all continue our craft. It's necessary now, more than ever.

All the best.
