mike Dodson: Introducing myself

Mike Dodson · 05-05-2003, 12:58 PM

Hello everyone!

I want to take a moment and introduce myself. I have been viewing this Forum on a daily basis for about a year now and am excited to be a part.

I have been painting in oils since I was 13 (24 years). I am currently a part-time portrait artist who aspires to become full-time within the next few years. I paint from life/photos and I am a huge admirer of the "Old Masters", specifically Frans Hals, Velazquez and Sargent.

I hope to post an oil portrait soon for critique.

Thanks for the opportunity!

We thought that was you out there, Mike. Glad to see you've come in from the cold.

Welcome, pull up a chair, and join in whenever you get comfortable.
