You can read all about how I got started in my blog, if you are interested... here is my whole story: http://pencilenvy.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html<br /><br />You can certainly email your images to me at wendy@pencilportraitcards.com. The most important thing to start making money from portraiture is to share your work where people can see it. Use social media and ask your friends to share. See if you can hang your work in local businesses. (I started with dog groomers, vets and funeral homes). Join your local art league... you'll get lots of advice there!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961220296062331790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449963974153023419.post-25030846599633845492016-11-06T07:01:45.338-08:002016-11-06T07:01:45.338-08:00Dear Wendy, ...Dear Wendy, I think that this is a wonderful story . It is touching and an inspiration to all who would read it . I hope that someday I can be as blessed to have a similar experience. You see , I am a self taught artist myself and was going to write to ask how you had got started doing portraits for a living. My Wife who is now with the Lord above and some friends and family members have told me for years that I should be doing portraits for a living but I have always been afraid to leap into this endeavour.I was like you in a lot of ways I taught myself to draw .I've just never really done it for a living . I ran across your website while looking on the internet to see what to charge for a pencil portrait and I'm glad that I did . One because I would have been short changing myself and two I found you and read this wonderful story of your journey into your future. I must say I was touched by your story and how that in people that truly believe in the love of the Lord can come together in a loving and harmonious way and not let the troubles of race be involved . This is a story I think all of mankind should see or hear about , because God sees no color in us but anyway I hope and pray that I will have a inspiring story of one of my experiences one day to share , and I thank you for sharing this one with me . I wanted to ask you if you had any pointers that could help me get started in this unknown territory into the business of art . It just seems that it comes so easily to you which I'm sure it probably was not the case. But if you can I would be forever indebted to you . Maybe I could send you some pictures of some of my drawings to look at to see if you think I am ready for this journey at all. I would love to know what another artist thinks of my drawings because I have never shown them to anyone before . I live in a small town in South Carolina and don't even know any artists personally but you just somehow have touched my soul with all the compassion that you have for doing what started out as a hobby and now a wonderful , budding and inspiring career for yourself. If you would consider looking at my drawings please notify me and let me know where to send the pictures.

But when you really think about why someone is being aggressive, it usually stems from pain. At their most cruel, people often need our forgiveness most when it's hardest to give. I wish I'd done a better job and had thicker skin. <br />Wendy Zumpanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449963974153023419.post-51711828273661556242016-05-13T00:32:48.116-07:002016-05-13T00:32:48.116-07:00Tears galore with warm smiles and precious memorie...Tears galore with warm smiles and precious memories....all of us probably have a Don in our lives...I do and thanks to you I will continue to work at staying in contact even when rebuffed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449963974153023419.post-2896433872459135662016-03-13T12:50:38.704-07:002016-03-13T12:50:38.704-07:00Hi cen you do that for my husband please for he...Hi cen you do that for my husband please for he's birthday please you cen email mme at tryniecelove@gmail.com thank youAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513674676869476483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449963974153023419.post-24379033415268981182015-07-06T08:57:26.958-07:002015-07-06T08:57:26.958-07:00I think about him so often, Sheri.
