    I love your work, you are so talented. I wish I could have a mentor that could give me some pointers on how to get started, as far as work. I have my master's degree in psychology and I was layed off which I think is a blessing in disguise to pursue my passion which Is photography. However, I need to make some kind of money. If you have any suggestions please share them with me and thank you.

    Another 100% BLING-FREE painting:
    by James Jacques Tissot, entitled:
    “Young Lady In A Boat”
    I hope you enjoy it!

    FYI - Flashing, Sparkly, Glittery, Moving “Blingees” slow down your page and make it hard to navigate. Many times it is very difficult to view your work - because of the Blingees. Graphics like the one above are very low resolution and don’t slow down your page - they just provide beauty.......
