Garth, Great Photos!

What an exhusting 4 days. It was cool to see so many friends, and meet a ton of online friends in person. I'll try to get those ten dollar checks out to all of the folks that voted for my piece at the show.

Thanks!

Allan, interesting that you suggested the European portrait exhibition. I am planing just that to be held in Frankfurt. I think that Frankfurt is a excellent location being that most European flights taxi here. First, I plan to have the competition for the local in the area artists then to have it German wide and then Europe wide. I am looking for partners. I also have other ideas as far as art exhibitions and competitions are concerned. I already have a place where the Frankfurt area competition will be held. There will be two categories of portraits exhibited one for your average portrait artists and then for on the spot in a defined number of hours portrait demo. Allan, we can do something similar for your area. What do you think? Anyone else like the idea and would like to get involved feel free to let me know.

Maybe this will be the way we can get Marina to pose for us, that is if she has her European ID.

Dear Garth, thanks a lot for sharing these pictures.
I sincerely hope I can attend this wonderful event in the future!

Mischa, your idea is very good. Especially the "on the spot" competition! I would like to help if I can, and would love to have the same kind of event in France and other countries in the South of Europe too. I am going to live in Asia for some time, but if I can do something to help developing the portrait artists community here in Europe, I will do my best. (maybe we could start a new thread about this, and exchange ideas for the future)

Dear Allan,
I would love to visit Denmark, but as my youngest daughter made me understand that she cruelly missed me this past weekend, I'm afraid that YOU have to visit Canada.
So, see you next wednesday ?

Mischa,
I'm feeling much more European than North American. I will get involved in such a project without a single hesitation !
I will think about this and post something in your new thread...

Marina, as good as those photos are, you look much better in person. Nevertheless, I do wish I had taken photos of you the evening that I had my camera out. It was (as always) a busy and hectic few days filled with non-stop information sharing and getting to know other artists.

I seem to have David Kassan in most of my photos.

David, congratulations on being voted as People's Choice! The People have spoken!

I like this photo very much: Calvin Goodman and Michele Rushworth.

I hired Calvin as a consultant after I met him two years ago at this same conference. He's become a friend and mentor to me.

Linda sent me this cool photo of Me and my painting Idol.

If anyone has any cool pics, please send them to me, i lost my camera down there.

Here's Chris Saper's demo of fellow artist Teresa Mattos (my apologies if there's some distortion. I photographed it on an angle to minimize glare and then straightened it out somewhat.)

Also I've attached a photo of a demo in progress by Michael Shane Neal.
