I can totally agree with you on how frustrating it is to lose photos. I now have two external drives just for photos alone! haha.

Anyways, your paintings are really beautiful. I love the portraits of woman.

My sister paints for a hobby. Its funny though because somehow she starts one thing but doesn't finish it off right away. We would joke around that she'll finish one painting in 2 -3 years. She tells me her painting depends on her creative motivation.
