The deadline has past for the subjects of my paintings to purchase their likenesses. Only one subject came forward. Bea, a strong supporter of the arts and key member of our artists' guild. Thank you, Bea. (Her portrait is shown nearby.) Two more portraits were purchased by old friends. Thank you, old friends. All got my special "Back-to-School" discount. I guess the newspaper circulars had an effect on me. The best news about the sales is that they legitimize my tax return where I will claim expenses for canvas, paint, post cards, wine for the reception, wine for my patrons and wine for the artist himself. (I find I get more inspiration from Cab than Merlot. How about you?) Oh, yes, and a portion of my earnings return to the artists' guild to fund future projects which is a good thing. By the way, there are still 21 portraits without owners and if you send me a copy of your passport photo there's a good chance I can doctor one of them to look just like you. Think about it. My "Back-to-School" discount runs out August 25th.
