Lyraina : Naw, no apologize. I have been doing nothing but freebies for a long time. The oil paintings are because 2 of my good friends (one of 14 years and going, and one faced down a giant raging man in my defense) both became property owners recently, so I promised living room wall decorations to them. The rest, yeah, I need to take a stand and start making decision and sacrifices.
I also need to hunker down and face down that fear of committing to a deadline. You've already started, and been beating deadline after deadline. I'd say that's a major progress right there. Inspirational, even. Don't ever stop doing what you're doing there.
Thanks, about the butterfly. They're looking rather clown-like now with various test color patches on them, lol!
[edit] Added art to post. The odd colors are because I was trying to use up left over paint on the palette before wiping it down, but didn't finish all of them anyway. Was just a fun sketch, oil on canvas. Original intent was to make studies of this still life though. Next time.
