Wow!
 

I just emailed Marvin. I've got to take his class! Wonderful job, Pat. I love it.

Congratulations Pat!

Your portrait is really beautiful. Your drawings are always so lovely, it

Thanks, Kimber! Studying with Marvin was like losing the scales on my eyes. He really teaches you how to "break down" a painting, see what is right and what is wrong and then he is able to explain how to make it better, without touching your canvas!!!

Thank you for the warm compliment Carolyn!

I came across this very strong portrait, too, this evening. She is so real, so alive. I am so impressed by the way you rendered her beauty as part of her humanness. There is a wonderful impartiality and clear-sighted honesty about this painting. It's magnificent, Patricia.

Thomasin,
I just spotted your comment this morning. I have been out of the loop for a few weeks, problems with my computer. What a wonderful compliment and boost, which I needed to read! Thank you.
