Hello from Narberth, PA
After discovering this forum about a year ago, and becoming engrossed in the threads of discussion, I finally decided to join and become a participant.
I've been a professional portrait and landscape painter for about 30 years. I taught myself to paint in oils when I was in high school, at a time when representational art was not at all popular. My "self-teaching" is ongoing, and it includes lots of drawing and painting from life, reading about how other artists approach their work, visiting museums, and exchanging critiques with other artists. I put "self-teaching" in quotation marks because really I have learned an incredible amount from others!
I'm looking forward to talking more with other portrait painters. A couple of examples of my work are attached below.

Howdy Neighbor!
Alexandra,
May I add a warm welcome to you here at the Portrait Artist Forum. I love the spatial depth in your work. I look forward to your contributions and learning from your example and experience. This Forum has really opened things up for me in the past year, and I am sure it will for you too. This is a great community.
Speaking of community, you know, I am only five miles away! (Germantown)
Happy painting,
Garth

Do You Remember This Card?
Dear Alexandra,
I knew your name was more than familiar. I believe the year was 1988. Imagine that! We had a show together. 
I just had a look at your website. Wonderful work!
Garth
