The thoughts and words are recorded more eloquently than I can ever hope to and have ever read. The conclusion is true. We, as portrait artists strive to be there and record the truth.

My first art teacher for drawing and painting taught us to always ask, "What is the subject doing?" and then to postulate that with our knowledge of light, angles and color and then record it.

Any success at painting lies in my ability to accomplish that.
