Hello from Rochester
After lurking for a number of years, I've decided to formally introduce myself.
I live in Rochester, NY

Hi Chris, I love your portrait!
I am in NC and went to college in Raleigh and Chapel Hill. Now I am in Shelby, just west of Charlotte. NC is a wonderful place. Asheville might also be a place to consider, it has a very strong art community.
Welcome.

Thanks Mary. Ashville is on the list. Next summer we will scope out several prospective places to live and work. I definitely want to visit Biltmore and see the Sargent.

Beautiful color Chris. I look forward to your future posts.
As much from life is the best way to go, if not the easiest.
I understand Shanks does most, if not all, of his portraits from life and you cannot sniff at his prices.

Thanks both Sharon and Marvin.
Yes, Shanks paints exclusively from life. His portrait of the Pope must be a rare exception, although he said he did get some actual time to sketch him from life.
