Hi Bev, What name did your Mum paint under and I'd love to see some of her work if its on the net?.I will be trying to get myself a web site soon.Nothing grandieose but then you can have a look at my stuff,if interested of course!?.The bloke in the mall,I wonder if he makes enough to survive?.How big is the town or village you live in?and are there many portraitists about?.Do you think there is a market for one?.Anyway,better get back to the easel now even though the weather here is fantastic.Here being Mumbles near Swansea.Where Catherine Zeta Jones says shes from but its the next village over,a place called West Cross!.There,a bit of hollywood gossip there too.
