It is really, for me, a hard concept to get across. I have seen portraits, beautifully and skillfully painted, that are dead. I have seen Van Gogh's potraits, not skillful but alive.

It a matter of the conciousness of the painter coming through the paint. The paint as well as the subject are both alive. It is not a matter of style. I was just referring to how I paint. I love Gwen Johns paintings.
