I also like this very much, Marvin! Your comments sparked a mental vision of Gollum and his alter ego. (Just teasing you. You don't look anything like him.) "My Precioussssss...."

Julianne, try to get in the zone as soon as you can when you paint from life. The time limits involved in painting from life really help with this. The more you do it the easier it will get to tune out all the other noise - external and internal - so that it is just you, your subject and your canvas.

I've studied with teachers who require total silence when they paint and also with teachers who give an entertaining running commentary. I think this is really hard to do and what Marvin does is very impressive. When I teach, I'm told that I tend to trail off in mid
