Cynthia,
I have to jump in and echo the prior posts. Participating in the Portrait Artist Forum has enabled me to grow in so many, and often unexpected ways.

I couldn't agree with you more. We are all 'amateurs', and here are inspired by our heroes, and encouraged by our own community. My plan is simply to become a better painter. I am far from my goals as well. But how gratifying! I have made wonderful friendships that have not only enriched my life, but my work.
Brava, Cynthia.
