Ironically, I think I'm getting slower at painting portraits because I expect a much higher quality from myself than I did even six months ago. Taking the trip to NYC for the ASOPA conference this past May taught me how to see in a much more refined way. Because of that I think my recent portraits (whenever I get them sent to Cynthia for my SOG website!) will show what I think is a quantum leap in quality -- but not speed! Maybe once I absorb everything I learned into my work and it becomes second nature I'll start to be able to complete a commission in fewer hours, but for now I'm much slower than I was a year ago!
