Mary Jane, Linda ,Alex ,Ilaria : thank you very much !
Yes I was very excited, and very intimidated too at the beginning, I was feeling like a baby in comparison with some much more experienced portrait artists... But what a nice way to celebrate my first year of painting portraits!
( Sorry to tell you, Alex, I never worked hard : only had a lot of fun )

One of the things that struck me was the enthousiasm, the deep joy of the artists when they were creating in front of us. Some get really excited by the curve of an eyelid, some other by a special bone, or a shadow...
I think that as long as you feel this enthousiasm, there's no limit...


Judson : it's the Oil critique section, and it's an oil painting.
