Juan,

Your work is gorgeous. Powerful form! I thought I'd never see the day when young artists were interested in beautiful figurative work. When I was an art student the major art schools were teaching the uglier and the more novel the better. I was sneered at for being interested in such 'outmoded' art forms. I had to find, by trial and error, someone who could teach me something about figuratve work. Ateliers were scarce and I did not know anything like that existed.

I knew that there were probably many errors in my summation, but I thought it would be a good begining post. I want today's aspiring artists to know how much work goes into becoming a first rate figurative painter and I think you have given them some great information.

Sincerely,
