Janel,
Thanks so much for being such an inspiration and sharing your experience. About a month ago I asked one of my teenage art students if she would come in for a photo shoot. I am trying to get some interesting shots for some figurative work and also gain more experience with my camera. Well, after this inspiring post I have decided it would be more beneficial to me to have her pose for a portrait from life. This will be very intimidating for me especially since I am her teacher and I am a little scared at what my results will be like. Your painting turned out wonderful and I can see that your determination and persistence more than paid off. I too need to know that I can do this and I echo all your thoughts on this. Keep up the good work!
Cynthia
