Still working on Alices fur, lots of tones to get right. Going to look funny until I bring all the shading up to where its supposed to be. I felt Alice needed a turn in the daylight and haven't been able to make enough time for her at night yet.
I revisited my initial intentions today. When I decided to start drawing portraits for people. I knew it would be free. I want people to know their loved ones aren't forgotten. I just want to draw. When I think of my loved ones in heaven my hearts starts to ache, my eyes water and sometimes they gush, I miss them. I miss them so much. So if I miss mine that much then others must miss their loved ones too, even more maybe. That's when I decided that I could draw my loved ones anytime. I wanted to do something for others. And I noticed others. I noticed their stories, pictures, pouring out of emotions, even the suffering when silent. I don't know who's next, I know the list in my head of the order I prefer - but that is not always THE PLAN executed. I trust the timing is right and I will draw them as I am led. I did not intend to charge for my art. Many people have asked me how much I would charge to draw their loved one. I didn't ever have an answer. When I meditated and prayed I didn't really get an answer. I do charge for prints of my drawings since there is a cost involved in getting them made. I'd be getting prints made no matter what, otherwise I would have no record of my art. I don't mind not being compensated for my art. God pays me for that. The universe sends me everything I need. And I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't know if I will take commissions again. For now that avenue is closed. Maybe it was never meant to be. I'm okay with that. I like this. I like doing this for karma exchange.
