Thank you Cynthia and Mike. (I think I'll be around a bit more now, Mike)
That is a good idea about posting information on the conference, Cynthia, I'll see what I can do. Gwenneth gave a demonstration on pastel portrait painting. It was excellent. We also had superb demos from Yuqi Wang, Dan Thompson, and Beth Koestal.
I'll try to provide a more comprehensive report before long. In the meantime, this might be a good time to let everyone who is contemplating coming to Toronto know that IT IS SAFE HERE!! The SARS business hurt the portrait conference a great deal, but, darn it all; there are more than 6 million people here and only about 150 are probable SARS cases. What are the odds? (I'm not sure about my numbers; I just know that they're not too high at all.)
That being said, I would not recommend going to a hospital's paliative or respiratory wards while you're visiting. The SARS seems to be confined to people who have been in-and-around specific hospital situations where someone had SARS. Otherwise, the place is fine. 
Juan

Juan, this is truly one of my favorites! It is just beautiful. I especially love the composition. Did you give us a background on the subject you painted.
Can you post a close up of the face and hand on our right?

Il Professore
Beth,
Hi again!! I hope Juan won't mind me answering this - but just in case he doesn't drop in for awhile - this is John Angel, his teacher, the master teacher at The Michael John Angel Studios in Toronto, CA.
This portrait took my breath away when I first viewed it. It is so completely perfect, in my opinion.
See you soon,
Denise
