Beth, I'm more fun than a barrel of monkeys! I thought that was a given. And I clean up more easily. My main goal in every painting is to capture the light on and the life in my sitter, so I'm glad you connected with her. I learned so much doing this painting. Painting from life is the key to heaven.

Thank you Sharon. I really wish you could see this one in person. I painted on this one for six days. After the first few days my students kept saying, "How much farther can you take it?" I think it really set the bar, which was my intention to begin with.
