Boy I am I happy to have found this place! Now I can finally talk to people who are as obsessed as I am with painting portraits.
I took my first painting class at the age of 12, but, I have been in love with drawing people for as long as I can remember.
I finished my college degree in art, but (unfortunately) followed my parent's advice and gave up art for a degree in administration. This led to a career in business and a hobby in art...it is a very frustrating place to be.
I teach at a local art school on my days off, just to keep in touch with fellow art lovers.
This summer, I left work to devote myself to improving my painting skills. Through this site, I am hoping to meet and exchange with people who are willing to share their opinions, critics and paintings.
So, if you have any contructive criticism, please feel free to let me know. I will do the same for you, I promise.
