Hello @kathleenscarboro - Hugs back to you ..... I am just about to experience that kind of dogged approach and discipline. I have, for some time now, a request for a portrait painting, based on a drawing that I have already done and gave that friend as a gift over a year ago. She is quite wealthy, and I know she would pay me well (beyond what I usually get for my work) - so here it is, a little self-promotion, the digital composition of what I aim to do (maybe I should post it, but I think I better wait until I am actually doing it, and record the steps):
It is LOVELY!
