Thank you Claudemir.
Julie, it is always great to see Ringling Alumni! I am not a grad, I am sorry that I only made it 1/2 way to my BFA there. I left school to marry my husband, he was a graduate in 1988. I am trying to encourage him to pick up his brushes again as well.

I lived in SC for many years in Greenville, SC. I miss the foothills of the Smokeys.
Your work is terrific! Welcome.

Mary Ellen
Like you I also made a recent trip to the MET and was amazed by the scale and beauty of Sargent's Portraits. They would inspire anyone who has a love for portraiture. Welcome and you've found a wonderful place in this site, so many talented people willing to share their experience. Have fun!
Oh ya, nice paintings,  I also like the drapery on the girl in blue.

Thank you everyone for the welcome!
Dan, did you see the Americans in Paris exhibit? You are right, the beauty and scale of the portraits left me awestruck. I had no idea from looking in books just how large The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit really was.

Perhaps from time to time we could utilize this Forum to organize an opportuniy to meet fellow members at a particular exhibition or museum. I would enjoy that. Just an idea.
