I've always said that artists work so cheaply because part of their payment comes in the emotional response of their audience. However, just give me the cash! lolJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224954501156534934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474048087216734753.post-32224487325111199452012-07-25T17:14:22.640+01:002012-07-25T17:14:22.640+01:00Thanks Bev.

I think you blogged a while back about the importance of getting photos of your pets whilst you can - especially in this day and age with the bonus of digital cameras.<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by and commenting Lynda ... very much Sue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474048087216734753.post-45214854859871715392012-07-25T14:32:54.966+01:002012-07-25T14:32:54.966+01:00Sue; such soft, engaging eyes!Sue; such soft, engaging eyes!Lynda Schumacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770249962267325853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474048087216734753.post-84893264739281279932012-07-25T10:48:34.964+01:002012-07-25T10:48:34.964+01:00He looks a lovely chap Sue, I am amazed at how man...He looks a lovely chap Sue, I am amazed at how many people cry when they get their painting...even when the animal is still alive, seem to be an emotional experience, seeing their pet in paint.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441506881445533589noreply@blogger.com
