Jerry and I had dinner at our friends house Friday night and she had the most precious porcelain bird collection. I asked to borrow them to take their portraits. I took a few home with me and set up a mini studio for them outside on the front porch yesterday. Here is the favorite from the day. She sat still and was very cooperative.
Yesterday was a glorious day. I took my cameras out for a little road trip and took photos of any tree that caught my fancy. It was so so refreshing. Then I came home and took the bird portraits. I love days like these. I'm heading out early today for an appointment and I'm bringing my cameras with me. We shall see what I find out there.
Here is the next point in Keri Smith's "How to make a living as an artist"

Create a support network of people in your field, try to meet with them regularly, it helps to make you feel normal.
