Remember Critter?
He’s getting a companion–a gift commission from the gal who owns Critter. Here’s the drawing:
Pencil drawing on Aquabord™ of “Bennie”
This is Bennie, who will most likely look a lot better in full color. There’s some camera distortion in the original photo which I can’t do much about, but I did manage to straighten the posts that are behind him. I think he’ll be right in the viewer’s face when I’m finished, which is of course where every good dog should be!
For not the first time, but maybe the last time, I have started a "home business". The difference with this one is that it is one I really enjoy. I've drawn and painted horses since I was (at least) five years old--that's the earliest one that my mother saved.
By the time I entered my teens, Mother had grown a bit tired of the subject and urged me to do something else with my artwork besides horses. I followed her advice and never looked back until ten years ago when it occurred to me that people might actually pay for horse portraits. I have had many exhibits of my landscapes, and sold a good number of them--but not enough to provide any kind of steady income.
I'm hoping that if I work hard and market this business well I will be able to delight my customers, make some money, and have a lot of fun doing it.

i’m sure it’s going to turn out just fine, being that your painting of critter certainly did!
