The other day, when I shook hands with a gentleman by the name of John Buhler, I didn't realize it was the same John Buhler that donated 4 million dollars to the University of Winnipeg. He loved the painting I did for Michaelle Jean so much, that he wanted me to paint portraits for his whole family. I only hope he was being honest, because I would really love the extra work right now. I'll put my all into it! I need to start carrying my business cards with me more often. more importantly I need money for my phone. Oh, the beautiful struggles of being an artist...
