I apologize for the shine on the pieces, I scanned them and the varnish I use is very shiny. |

| Crafty Lady, I don't know who Glenda is but from my experience it is difficult to make any money on my painted pieces. Even though I put a lot of time and effort in each piece, they are always finished both front and back (I usually paint snowflakes or stars on the back) and I varnish every piece. But I can't compete with the stores and the products from China. So, I take special orders and sometimes I put my pieces in an art consignment shop but I know I have to keep the price low - around $4-$6. This particular piece was from a picture I saw on the internet, I just drew it smaller and added my own take to it. Thank you all for the compliments. |

| Absolutely love the light, airy way you do those beards-just looks like you had fun doing them. And the blending on those cheeks--just awesome painting! Nowadays, many don't bother with the back of a piece--you're lucky if they even put a coat of paint on it! When the cutout shapes were so popular, I used to try to extend the design to the back--even if no pattern for it--because I sometimes wanted to use them on my table as part of a centerpiece. Your work is so detailed--really more like fine art than craft painting--but you are probably right--non-painters might not appreciate the time or talent that went into painting the project. So who taught those Chinese to paint anyway???? Just joking, of course. Luvs |
