Dear Karin,

I was not upset with YOUR criticism. Rather I think I was just frustrated with myself. It is difficult to convey in printed form the inflections intended. I value your judgement and know that you spend a considerable amount of time on this website trying to help those of us who are climbing up the mountain, clinging on by what sometimes feels like a very slippery rope.

This ain't easy stuff, at least not for me, yet. I believe it was Edgar Degas who said "painting is easy when you don't know what you are doing and very hard when you do". I don't know about the other portrait painters out there, but I'm harder on myself than anyone else could ever be. I think we are a tenacious breed as a whole, otherwise we would just give up.

I value your contributions and when I can't take the heat, I'll get out of the kitchen.

So please don't be sorry you contributed. Painting for me is not always fun, sometimes it is and other times I just want to start over.

Alicia
