For these purposes keep track of trades and fair market value for what you've received to report on your income taxes. <br /><br />http://money.howstuffworks.com/bartering4.htmAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05695880592300626881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638939400309058090.post-17314923130396581962012-07-08T17:24:47.765-07:002012-07-08T17:24:47.765-07:00I don't know how your tax laws work - but I...I don't know how your tax laws work - but I'd be wary of trading too much without checking out the tax aspects. <br /><br />Tax in the UK is on benefits in kind as well as on money received.

Clothes is a good example.<br /><br />Thank you for your comment on my brush strokes and color scheme. Believe or not, I tend to want to really tighten up...so painting small and quickly (about an hour) makes it tough to paint tightly.<br />Check out the work of Carol Marine or even better, Gary Holland (he paints portraits) to see some great bold brush strokes.<br /><br />I do wish you much luck!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05695880592300626881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638939400309058090.post-28741504043215331922012-07-02T11:13:18.451-07:002012-07-02T11:13:18.451-07:00That's a pretty pair of pears Cynthia (too bad...That's a pretty pair of pears Cynthia (too bad your name is Priscilla). My husband and I were just talking about that, but I want the money, or something I need or think I need. My last trade was a portrait in oils for an iPad. Portrait artist get a lot more money for their work than the cost of an iPad I know, but I'm new into that genre and still working out the quirks. I figured an iPad was fair. And I love it. And the mom loved the painting of her two little ones even though it took me three months to finish it. --Looking at your pears, I like the simplicity of the subject, your bold brush strokes and your color scheme. It's very nice. I'd like to accomplish that in portraiture. Wish me luck.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.com
