Jimmy, you really hit the nail on the head. During the workshop my students would say, "What else could you possibly do to it to make it better?" For me, the process takes on a life of it's own and the painting keeps coming to life more. If only there was just one more pose!
Pat, I'll bring this painting with me to Atlanta in January. I think you'll be very surprised to see the extent of the subtle nuances that photography just can't capture. Everyone who sees my originals comments on how much better the actual paintings look.
Linda, I thought it was banging my head that caused all those endorphins.
