		<description><![CDATA[I wouldna thunk it, but I&#8217;m in the pet portrait biz. I mean, OK, I&#8217;ve done commissioned portraits (mostly horse, some dog, even a couple cats) over the years, in oil or pastel&#8230;but here I&#8217;ve jumped in with both feet to something new. Even set up a new website.
Why? because it&#8217;s so damn much FUN. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(Thank you to Marti for the kind comment about &#8220;missing me&#8221; :-). I&#8217;ve been trying to juggle the full-time job thing along with my art, and the latter is definitely suffering; I&#8217;m falling behind on commitments and exhibition deadlines. Really sucks. It doesn&#8217;t help that we&#8217;re in the fast&#8217;n'furious part of agility season right now, which [...]]]></description>

A sequence:

 Wow, this looks amazingly awkward with just part of the background painted in, and probably no one can tell what animal this is going to be.


At least the setting is looking good, even if my unpainted unknown artiodactyl ain&#8217;t&#8230;


Ah! something recognizable. Now, this is obviously the way [...]]]></description>

Is anyone else getting these? some sound intriguing, like the &#8220;artist network online seminars&#8221; that are being presented.
