Cranfield Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 A very good likeness, she can obviously paint. There is a lady that appears at quite a few of the Farmers Markets round here that has some examples of her paintings from photographs (people, horses, pets, kids, etc) and she takes orders. Someone told me she also has a little poster in the local Vets (probably pays them a commission). Just a few ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
