I thank you too, Sharon. Alex, for one thing, it shows you have the competance to get more canvas resolved in the alotted time! I can't quite keep up with you. I am afraid to know "what" it says too!

This is wonderful. Thanks so much for this thread. Congratulations to all in the show. It's good to see so much quality in one place. And it's nice to see the artists.

Actually, Garth, I was thinking, self-deprecatingly, that you put on much more decisive shapes of color and therefore got a more sculptural quality more quickly. Although you put in less detail, the illusion was solid. I think I normally build up my illusion over several days of painting. The first coat was much thinner than yours, and since we had only two hours i had to build on that coat of paint rather than putting down another coat the next day and creating a more solid foundation. As a result, I got farther along but the paint quality was rather ephemeral, not as solid as I would have liked.

What a super thread! And what wonderful portraits you painted, Garth and Alex! I'm so proud to know you two. I'm so glad you had a crowd!
Remember, when demoing in public, it's not fear, it's enthusiasm.

Thank you, Linda. I'm just as proud to know you. You're the one getting up there and painting from life at the Wallis booth at the PSA, in class, etc., and urging me to "get up there and paint!"

I'll memorize it and repeat it to myself.
