My son, who struggles with depression, just got a commission to do a watercolor of someone's dogs.

He's really good but rarely gets paid for his art (depression makes him unable to do much like sell online).

It's only 75 dollars, but I'm SO SO proud of him...

I admire anyone who can draw/paint. I have lovely pictures in my head..but they come out as stick figures and unintelligible scribbles......
