Thank you Carlos, Dan and Linda!
Carlos, I did work mostly from photos, as I usually do with this kind of commission, but Dr. Papadakis did pose for a 1-1/2 hour oil sketch, and that was very helpful when it came to putting down the correct color notes in the face and really being able to "read" the photo. You can read about the process and see the sketch in the WIP section.
Dan, what makes you say you are not an expert? Fake it till you make it. Seriously, you are as good as many experts and I value your opinion.
Linda, I appreciate your support. It means a lot. It's hard to pull all those things--vision, craftsmanship and feeling--together and keep them in mind while we are painting. We have to keep challenging and encouraging each other!
