I have, actually. It would take me a while to ferret out the various threads in which it has appeared. I can say for certain that there' s work in a thread in the "Nudes, Critiques" section, under the title "Nudes with Values." There's a demo on sight-size techniques, in which one of my paintings appears. There are various drawings in a "Classical Drawing" thread of yore. A still-life in an old Cafe thread called something like "Landscape vs. Portraiture." A portrait-in-progress of my son (I'm not even sure how I'd find that, but I'll have a go.)
I now do more landscapes and still-lifes (and even dogs) than portraiture, which is part of the reason that I have largely removed myself from regular participation, save to the extent that the same "rules and procedures" apply across genres.
How did this come about? Well, it's that old self-assurance thing -- I gradually became less and less comfortable with doing commissioned portraits, for much the same reason I knew back in '83, after two years of private practice, that I didn't want to be a trial lawyer after all. I didn't have the fire. I use the degree to this day, but in a non-courtroom venue.
Just have to keep going with what we have.
