If the deep south is the best place to set up shop as a portrait painter, then I would think more educational opportunities would exist in the deep south, masters opening their studios to train apprentices....or perhaps south Florida is too deep?

American classical realism seems to be centered in NYC, Minneapolis, DC, Atlanta...all towns woven of rich cultural fabric.
