Janel, you are way too harsh on yourself. Everyone should know that Janel was running around like crazy to assure that every participant and especially Marvin, had the utmost enviroment to work in.

Indeed the model was dozing off for the most part or was trying to keep herself awake by fidgeting around. It is amazing how wonderful you were able to capture her eyes under those conditions. No one will argue that painting the likeness of someone whose head constantly moves is an easy task.

You have a lot of wonderful things going on in this portrait. Is it your best work, probably not, but neither is mine. A workshop setting's purpose is to teach and I can see by this painting that you have learned a great deal, just like the rest of us. Thanks for sharing it-it brings back great memories, like the napkin trick!
