You never know how valuable your talent can be.

I guess this is just a reminder that we develop our talents for more than money. One of my son's schoolmates died unexpectedly last week; a beautiful 24 year old girl. The only images the family had to show at the funeral were ones taken from her MySpace. This image was also, but was one that my son had taken recently and together we created this portrait for the family. Too low res to be a nice photograph, it made a sweet painting. Our efforts in learning, learning and practicing gave us the opportunity to give something meaningful to a whole family in grief. We give thanks.
