Sign the portrait. Your order dates post themselves.
Social media for portrait artists, done by asking.
Someone with a phone full of photos of an old dog does not know a painting is possible. Post each finished portrait beside the photo it came from, and how to order one, and she writes to you that night.
The request: The terrier portrait is finished. Post it Monday at 10.
