Since my last posting I signed up for a course in Classic Portraiture. My good painter friend, Mary Baxter of Marathon, TX, warned me that it may be detrimental to learn the right way to paint portraits. She was right. The teacher was great but she wanted us to paint as if every square inch was a mosaic, a tile, with a different color setting. I'm too ADD for that. So back to my experiment with portraits on wood. I am still trying to figure it out but that's the fun of it. Here's a sepia portrait of a young girl from a photo by Michael O'Brien. Thanks, Michael. More to come...I hope.
