Lady - so glad you decided to keep things as is and are able to work on your new piece. Portraits have always been my passion as I, as I have found out, I used it for self-expression - which I guess is what art is all about. I just didn't realize it. The work just flowed from my pencil.

DepressMe - I appreciate your passion toward your art. I also think it is true that we put ourselves out there, bare our sould for all to see. It is scary and risky and you have to believe in what you create.
