Linda,

If you're a noodge than I'm a well-sought after artist rolling in commissions. Oh wait, that latter part is going to happen NEXT year.

Thanks Marcus, I see what you mean now. I'll work on that for new paintings.

Thanks Marvin for the info. once again.

Jimmie,

No particular inspiration. I just looked through my photoshoot to find one that had good color definition, so that there wouldn't be any confusing areas that might make it hard to complete alla prima. My overall goal here is to speed up. Things rarely click from the beginning with me, although I certainly believe they do for you as your drawings have a certain in-your-face confidence, which in addition to your excellent drawing skills makes them so successful. Usually I'll find a face/pose I like, then go looking at other artist's books for references on composition, background, coloring, etc, (kind of backwards).

Holly
