Michele = Portrait Society of Atlanta , can't wait to join! I have a great story about the last time I visited Atlanta. My friend lives in Buckhead and we stopped at her neighbor's to pick up her daughter from piano lessons. The homeowner was eager to meet me because she knew I was there to study portrait painting. She opened the door to her very large, very posh, extraordinary home and pulled me directly into her living room where hanging above the huge fireplace was a huge painting of mom and dad and the three kids. My lord, it was the most awful painting I have ever seen! The heads looked like they were printed from a cheap computer printer and pasted onto stiff, flat bodies. It was truly horrific! and the woman was elated because it was painted by some "named colorist" whom EVERONE was using to paiint their portraits.

...there's room for at least one more good portrait artist, and give me some time, I will visit that neighborhood again, with my portfolio in tow!!

Alex I think Philadelphia is beautiful and would love to visit again. Once I get settled you have a place to visit in Atlanta, I promise!

Julie - I am HOPING not to see snow for some time! But I guess a flury or two would not hurt. I keep going to the website and viewing the current weather - I can't wait!!!

Steven - I saw all that snow you got this past week - UGH! I lived in Grand Forks N D for three winters in the 70's I know what it is like. I do have to admit though, anyone who suffers from SAD will feel better in ND/Minnesota. They may have long cold winters, but there is so much sun and it is relecting on pure white snow for months. I never felt the winter blahs in North Dakota!
