Agreed!

This is a well-timed forum for me.

Your note to come look came at a time when I am trying to promote my work to the Christmas crowd, but feeling very empty at the whole idea of "portraiture" as a goal.

Your note about painting (or drawing) for MY satisfaction is just what I need to hear. The energy and enthusiasm of your work in the moment shows the thrill of the exercise. Each stroke is a lesson when we do it in open studio. The thrill of experiencing creation among other artists is a lot like athletics. There is an unstated competition that comes over me to be not only MY best but to see who is better in the group and challenge myself to rise to the occasion.

Valuable forum. Elegant rendering.

Thank you!
