See if I can address everyone in one post
Emg:
I know what you mean

I was named in the Scottish tradition, after my grandmothers
Nursie:
Casey was a really cool boxer. My neighbour, Ashley, drove down to SC to visit her parents at Christmas four years ago and her father accidentally backed over Casey with his truck :sad:
She has a new boxer now, Dixie, and she's a sweetie too.
Hannys_Papa:
Hrm, it depended on the medium and size of the painting. A small (about 9x12) colored pencil painting I usually sold for $60. My pastels went for a lot more and are mostly commissions, usually between $150 and $300.
jennypenny:
All sorts

The bottom three are Sennelier and Rowney pastel on Crescent Suede matboard or Crescent Pastel Paper and the rest are Bruynzeel/Prismacolor colored pencil on Windberg Sanded Pastel medium.
The colored pencil ships better than pastel, so I usually do only commissions or local sales in pastel.
Everyone else:
Thanks and I'll try to post more today.
