I've never done a paid commission but I've done pictures for family and friends and of family and friends and the stress is unbelievable!

That's right, it's the pressure to get the portraiture done as good as possible, or else ... ;)

I've done a few commissions - can you paint my dog, a particular botanical study etc, and make it clear to the person before I start, if you're not happy with the result you are under no obligation to buy the painting. More practice for me.

I have spent all day doing a bit of newspaper background. Had a couple of attempts on paper first before doing it on the panel. I think it's one of the most difficult things I've ever done. I've decided I'm officially crazy.

Well you might be a crazy, but who's not? ;) The newspaper thing is something I wouldn't dare to do, lol ;) It requires a lot of focus and deliberate will to go for it Collette! I'd say - well done!!! It's impressive, it really is! I love it ;) Do you plan do some more around? ;) ;) ;) Your newspaper reminds me doing tattoos some time ago... My friend is laying on the beech, and he's got large sentence written on his chest, two other tattoos on his arm... Forget the arm! Lol... The writing had to follow his chest curves, letters were gently bended... Lol! I promised to myself - never again hahahaaa  ;)

Thank you so much Paul & Pog. After my long hiatus I have spent every waking hour painting since I started again. One extreme to the other. Finished this now and put it in the gallery.
