Portfolio Article Published on "emptyeasel.com"

Today, 10/12/07, the article I wrote entitled "A Freelance Artist's Guide To Preparing A Good Portfolio" has been published on emptyeasel.com!! This is a great site for my fellow artists to check out, and has alot of useful information including ways to promote your work on the web and elsewhere, and painting techniques; and what I like about this site is that one is able to submit their work to be critiqued....if it is featured on the site, the editor will give you a free plug to your own web site!

It also features various articles written by other artists, like the one I submitted. Please take a look at it here:

I welcome any comments!!

My Reward Of Praise

This past weekend, I delivered my second commissioned piece, "Sunset Dream" to its new owner. As she opened her eyes after I took it out of my portfolio, the look of astonishment and amazement as to its beauty will be something I will never forget.
To have someone appreciate your artwork to such a degree after giving you minimal instructions on what they want and never seeing it in progress, is the best reward an artist can ever get!!

I highly recommend any artist to do commissioned work, whether it be for a large corporation, small company, or for a person's home. It will verify your ability to please others with your creations, and such satisfaction is better than any amount of money you can earn for it.
