Thank you so much for your encouraging words, John.
I agree with you absolutely about painting from life. I actually do character portraits from life at the Renaissance faires and such and have been for two years now. Its really a lot of fun as well as educational. I am just really hungry for some formal training as I love portraiture and would like so much to do it well and to the extent that I see the masters here paint. I suppose that will all come in due time.
It was a pleasure to hear your comments. Thank you so much for looking.
