Marina from life

[Allan Rahbek]

Alex,
I so enjoy looking at the results of your open studio, I'd whish that I could join you some day.

[David Draime]

This is beautiful, so alive, fresh. You really have captured Marina! Like Allan, I wish I could have been with you all.

Allan and David, it would have been great to have both of you there. I often wish we were not so spread out geographically. Maybe, Allan, you will come to the PSA conference one of these years, then we can at least have a conversation in person if not actually paint together.

On the contrary, I like to see evidence of brush marks. But this was like taking a test and being told "time's up" when you could have easily answered the last couple of questions.

I think it's how you recognize a good work : you can leave it at any stage of the process ...



Carlos : I found that posing was not that hard ( at least for 3 hours) I'm a very quiet person, and don't care staying still. The most difficult is not moving the eyes, when there's very good painters around you doing live demos and you can't watch them !
I'll be in France this fall, I will not have a lot of free time, but it could be possible to organize some SOG european event ??? It would be a fantastic opportunity to meet you and some others !
