In reply to the discussion: Did a pastel painting to commemorate a pet that passed recently, for a friend [View all]Walleye
(36,529 posts)1. What a beautiful portrait for her of an absent friend.
Ill be thinking of you and wishing you luck with your biopsies, I know how that is, the waiting is very difficult. I know how you feel about taking money for your work. I had a hard time ever making a living as a freelance photographer because if somebody admired my work I would say something like, oh you like it, here you can have it. Fortunately I got a full-time job shooting pictures so I was able to make a living with it. There really are still lots of good people around probably more good ones than the assholes who make so much noise. Embrace kindness and take care of yourself
