I was looking around at Ebay and this person has been doing the Ebay shuffle for a long time. She has gathered a following and creates her pieces in a very similar way each time. Her pieces are really pretty and very popular. This is an example of what works for the artist and her patrons on Ebay. Notice the prices she gets for her work. These are good, for Ebay. But since she has a streamlined process, it works for her.

Well let me know when you are would like to do something and float the idea for the theme. I love your talent and would be interested in bidding for something that interests me. Thanks again for sharing all your wonderful talent. The Merc

Will do, Merc. Thank you for your compliments and interest in my art!

So, after looking at the catfish for several days on my wall, I decided to leave it be in its current state...the finished one, now. My instinct would not allow further alteration, so...here is the finished "Catfish" (otherwise known as "Don't Let Go.")

It is 16" X 12" and headed toward Sundae Girl, to arrive within 5 days-one week. :) This has been an excellent opportunity and I fully appreciate having had the chance to complete it for Sundae. Thank you!

Fantastic! Well done!

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Thanks much, Merc!

Wow - thats awesome Case! You are so very very talented.

It's beautiful!

Very nice, case. I like it a lot.

Case, I like it too!

Thanks all for your support and compliments! I can't wait to get started on another one. :)

It took me a second to place the Cherry's, but then my brain started working. Very nice piece, case.

Verrrrrrrrrrry nice, Case! SG you are a lucky girl to have such a lovely reminder of Dyl and Diz.

The painting has arrived, beautifully packed and with a bonus print as well, which will certainly be framed and displayed.

It is more beautiful in real life just because you can see the brush strokes and the slightly different textures.

I'll take a photo when I've finally finished redecorating my room, but as this has to wait for the big financial commitment of buying a bed this may be another two months, so enjoy this in the mean time.

Yay! I am so glad you have received it, now. I always fret about my paintings while they are being shipped...I think it is like sending a child off on a plane or something. Enjoy the painting and print!
