Hello Casey,
Welcome aboard. Hope that you will enjoy yourself and participate in our forum life.
I see that you are in Provo, next to William Whitaker, lucky you.

Hi Casey, you already have a very sound technique and structure to your work, it's a pleasure to have you here

Welcome, Casey! I hope you will enjoy participating. And thanks for sharing some of your work. From the examples you posted, it looks like you have a strong sense of composition, so I'm guessing you are an excellent graphic designer as well as a talented portraitist.

Bonfim, Misha, Richard, Allan, Ilaria and Alex,

Thank you everyone for the many kind words and the very warm welcome. I've seen the quality of work that all of you do and it is quite the compliment when you praise my work.

Allan, actually I just took a workshop from William Whitaker about a month ago. He is a wonderful guy to talk to in person, and to watch him paint is just a thrill!

Hi Casey,
nice work. Hope you will enjoy the forum.

Welcome, Casey,

I know you will enjoy being part of the Forum. We have only one degree of separation, as I will be in Bill's class later this month.

Another welcome --

Your posted images are inspiring. Just to look at the first exquisite piece, first -- "Bruce B. Childs", I believe it is (is that your father?) -- I'm very impressed with the gutsy willingness to go for that composition. I'm a huge fan of slightly unorthodox, silver- or platinum- rather than golden-mean composition, and I think this one is enormously successful.

Please continue to share your gift with this like-minded community. It means a lot to those who are reading -- as you've indicated that you've done -- and it will mean a lot to you in the process as well. (My personal guarantee is in the mail.)
