Sharon,

I don't know who it was that severed the thread. I too would have liked it to play out. I too applaud Karin's great generosity in giving of herself and her time. I never intended to negate what she said (how many ways must I state this?) I was only trying to warn others it was A way not THE only way!!

Michael,

I'm a little curious. I'm sure you recall that we had previously butted heads on the under painting issue and since now you are shifting your position and trying this new approach, with excellent results I might add, I have a question. Have you also shifted your stance and are you also incorporating a new painting medium as well?

To whom it may concern,

I have over thirty years of experience as a working professional. I have received a multitude of awards in shows juried by many of today's finest artists (including the creme de la creme of portrait artists). My students alone have won tens of thousands of dollars in prize money. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is in the process of buying one of my paintings for their permanent collection. The Art Renewal Center informed me yesterday that I have been accepted as one of their ARC Approved Ateliers and I will soon be listed on their site as such. I could go on and on but I hope you get my point. If you think I know not what I talk about, it
