Ilia,
Thanks for the kind words, I guess because I get so distracted (frustrated) by promotion of my work that when I finally have time to work on sketching or painting that I don't feel like it anymore. I had an agent interested in helping me, she'socated in the San Diego area but never has the time to call me back.
Might just be a sutle put off. I'll try again tommorrow. I even thought of exhibiting at art festivals..there is one coming up on Memorial Day weekend but I don't think there is time to get things ready.
