Are there any teachers of classical portraiture working in central North Carolina? I'm in the Winston/Greensboro/Lexington area and believe me when I tell you, the pickings are mighty slim.

I 'beat the bushes' pretty hard last winter when I first started painting and came up with zilch. So, I thought I'd try again this year. Ben Long has a school in Asheville and D. Jeffery Mims has one in Southern Pines, but there's realy no one within an hour and a half of me. And unfortunately the majority of local painting teachers that I've seen are into either abstract/modernist or art brut/folk.

Whatta bummer ...
