Thanks, Marina! I was wondering how you would feel seeing your portrait on the forum. It occurred to me after posting that I could have asked you first. I'm relieved you think it captured something about you, though in my opinion it does not measure up to the real you. Thanks so much for giving us Phila. artists your time and knowledge.
Peter, thank you. Yes, the eyes were definitely in the process of becoming. You can say that again! I am glad you see the positive in it. I also enjoy seeing that process, often slightly unfinished, in others' work but it is harder to appreciate in my own work. Not that I like everything highly finished. On the contrary, I like to see evidence of brush marks. But this was like taking a test and being told "time's up" when you could have easily answered the last couple of questions.
