Have you seen any of my mother-in-laws water colour paintings at my place?
I don’t remember. You being the IT person in the family, I’m assuming you created a website for her to display and sell her work. Where is it?!
I’ll give you $7 for the “dirty sink” painting!
That’ll pay for the paper at least.
Wow, that city painting is excellent.
You need a link to biggify the paintings.
I didn’t want to biggify it because you’d see the imperfections easier. Ya, I’m expecting too much of myself. Tough shit.
Resist the urge to throw that away. Its a great beginning but I can hear you saying “imperfections” over and over.
I am so proud of you!
I won’t be throwing out. Hell, I’m gonna frame the damn thing.
And thanks!
