Every time I put brush to paper I am happy, so no reason to be disappointed in my finished work no matter the end result.  Thank you for sharing that you still get nervous sometimes creating for a customer.  My dream would be to someday try and sell one of my paintings, so I continue to soak up all the techniques and gifts teachers like you have to offer. I would love any feedback you can offer.  I have been wanting to take a class painting a bear, so this was perfect for me.  I painted a bear on my own, but I struggle as I am a creature of painting what I see instead of relying on instinct of what I know or feel.  Your style of painting is helping me with that. I painting the Robin too. Just for the fun of it, I am uploading the bear I painted on my own, so I can get some thoughts from you if you don’t mind? Thanks again Paul.  Looking forward to my next class with you (maybe the Red Cardinal). :)
