You sound like an artist after my own heart. I am a painter in oils. I have finally after mucking around in pastels, acrylics trying this and trying that, decided that oil paint is for me. I have done landscapes, people, still life all with a modest amount of enthusiasm. I finally hit on what I love and that is animals, mostly dogs. I also paint cows, calves, bulls, donkeys and cats. I give most of my paintings to friends and relatives. When someone that I don't know asks me to paint their animals, I charge them, but money for my work is not where it is for me. I paint a lot of animals for owners from old photographs, after the animal has been put down. I am known among my friends as “the dead dog painter”. I am known at a local frame shop as "the dog lady". I like that, it pleases me. I have no desire to be a professional in a gallery, I am happy with the way things have worked out.

INDEED.

Scripture has good promises to those who are liberal givers.

I like that.

Thx.
