I take comissions... I sell paintings...

Not that I want to very much... But, after all, I am a professional visual artist. Capable to do a lot in drawing (story board for cinema included...), painting (portrait, landscapes, nudes, weird stuff. you name it...) or photography and digital art (inclusively combinations of drawing&painting and digital manipulated images...) In a word, I can do a lot of things. I got talent, experience, imagination and plenty of other hidden talents. The problem is that almost nobody seem to care. Or to need my multiple talents... Do I sound to you dissapointed? Well, I kind of AM... there are a lot of other artists, good artists out there... but there are also A LOT much worst than myself earning wads of money... I wouldn't give a damn, in fact, if artist materials would be for free and if I wouldn't feel a bit under estimated, and not used at my true value... Anyhow, this painting was a comission. I just wanted to show you I'm able to do it, just like I did it with the portraits. La bohème continue anyway and, eventually, a new Ambroise Vollard will sign a contract with me the way the real Vollard signed with Gauguin, at the end... And I'll draw and paint all day without giving a rat's ass about whatever... Just pouring my dark soul onto paper and canvas...

I'll try to leave a comment myself, since some of you are telleing me it did not work for you... Let's see...

Oh yes, Danu, you are a very talented artist, with a deep soul and a potent brain, and with the ability to let them shine through your art. You deserve a lot of commissions, but I would say just enough to allow to live well, bercause commission works are such an esclavage!
I might have a good idea (oh yeh, one more!), tell me if you want to know...

I put a comment in a day or two ago, seeing your great cat, if you had ever done a portrait of anyone's pet, Danu.

Thanks, Miki, sometimes a kind word like yours, it's more than a comission or a sell... and since I had a few comissions still, I know what you mean...

And, of course, I'm interested by your ideas! Do tell me about them...

I just saw at an artist material shop some pastels Holbein and my mouth watered (?)...

G, this image IS the portrait of someone deceased pet. A memorial, in a way... Glad the comment thing works again (I don't know HOW I made it work but it does...)

Have you ever done a portrait of a cat or dog? Nice subjects.

This is the cat and the dog is also on this blog - I think - a Scotish Corgy in a Québecois landscape...
