I know Cynthia and I some time just chat among ourselves here but you have no idea how valuable the net can be for networking and expanding your horizons.
This is a brand new site I found for people like me that do portraits of pets:
www.pet-portraitartist.com
Not only is it a very high skill level it is based in WALES UK, which always makes me feel like I am traveling when I am online!
The other, for people who got overwhelmed the first time they tried, is the wetcanvas photo refernce library:
www.wetcanvas.com/RefLib/index.php
join the site and participate, but this is a group of photos that the participants SPECIFICALLY UPLOAD for other artists to use as reference. It is polite to notify the photographer you intend to work from their picture and they love you to show what you did online, but this is where I do most of my work in my underwear. It is a great way to get your Grecian vistas and Arctic wolves without leaving home.
Remember these are NOT going to be the sort of work you can enter in competition (because the concept is not original) but nobody cares if you SELL THEM!!
