Hello there and welcome!

I liked the portrait of that lady in blue a lot!

Welcome, fellow Ringling grad! I was there in the late 70's. Glad you're picking up the brush again!

Thank you Claudemir.
Julie, it is always great to see Ringling Alumni! I am not a grad, I am sorry that I only made it 1/2 way to my BFA there. I left school to marry my husband, he was a graduate in 1988. I am trying to encourage him to pick up his brushes again as well.

I lived in SC for many years in Greenville, SC. I miss the foothills of the Smokeys.

Your work is terrific! Welcome.

Like you I also made a recent trip to the MET and was amazed by the scale and beauty of Sargent's Portraits. They would inspire anyone who has a love for portraiture. Welcome and you've found a wonderful place in this site, so many talented people willing to share their experience. Have fun!

Oh ya, nice paintings, I also like the drapery on the girl in blue.
