The key is to look at portrait painting as not just a commercial enterprise, but as a creative endeavor. Then you will see the possibilities open up in front of you.

Dear Alexandra,
You are correct. I will continue to do portraits, and the rest will happen because of what I produce and for the directions I choose, That it will be the sensitivity, uniqueness and quality of my paint and not for my perceptions, that my measure of success will be decided.
Thank you for the generosity of your thought, time, and advice.
Ed
