Well, I did send her the painting she wanted...she loves it although I see the mistakes. I am thinking of trying another pencil portrait...those are hardest...If you screw up a landscape you can always add a tree or something to cover for the mistake.

I can't cut shapes out anymore so I bought a Cricut...did you know that necessity is the mother of creation.

So don't give up creating...just find a different way to create...art is the soul of what life is made, creating the art is the life of the soul.
