I did finish that portrait
Ngaire,
Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your deep deep desire to return to your art when you are at a time it is not possible. I too, had to put my passion on a shelf when I was raising my children, so I do know how you feel. You will get there again, passion never ever diminished, in fact it grows wether you are drawing or not. YOu will be back in the saddle before you know it!
Just a follow up, I did finally paint that portrait which I started and abandoned four times. Here is the finished painting. I am delivering it today and and very happy with it. Attending Marvin's workshop was the key to approaching this painting for the fifth time.
I watched Marvin paint like a hawk on his shoulder. And I soaked up, AGAIN, every piece of knowledge he dispensed. It made all the difference.
And, if anyone is as determined as I have been these years to become a professional painter, Marvin will be back in Cleveland next year for two more weeks in June. Let me know if you are interested and I will put you on a student list to keep you posted as we get closer to June 4, 2012!
Thank you for looking.
